Tech Tip: Chrome Art
I went to the Fred Jones Art Museum with one of my classes this week which is what drew me to giving this tech tip a try. I'm not usually too big a fan of art but I really enjoy learning about the history of pieces of art. I enjoyed getting to learn about what inspired artists to create certain pieces this week at the museum. I feel like knowing the story of an image makes it a lot more interesting.
In that spirit, I tried to learn a bit more about the piece of art that popped up when I opened a new tab to test the extension. I didn't learn much I found that interesting but the artist Ralph Balson was an Australian artist in the mid 1900's and his art became increasingly abstract as his career went on.

I don't know how useful the extension really is but I kind of like the idea of having a new image when I open a new tab every day. It's just a small way to make internet use just a little more exciting.
Hi Hannah! Thanks for sharing this tip. I think it's really cool that you were able to visit the Fred Jones Art Museum with your class this week. I am not huge into art, but I think it is extremely unique that OU has this right on campus! I agree with you that knowing the background information behind an art piece makes it that much more interesting. I might have to check out this extension. Thanks!
