Bundle 3: Go There

For this bundle I decided to create this impressionist gallery at a real existing museum, the Wadsworth Atheneum located in Hartford, CT. I was planing on going to this museum but saw that the hours were 11-5 on weekdays and 10 to 5 on weekends. Sadly I work during the times they were open including the weekends. I was looking forward to going but then saw that they had an online gallery on their website at http://www.thewadsworth.org/collection-2/  
and
Through these I was able to get a taste at what kind of art they have at the Atheneum. I was also able to study the layout of the online gallery for my bundle which will include an online gallery composed of only impressionist paintings. I notice each page has the Wadsworth logo so I will be sure to include the logo into my designs. Also for each picture you can click on the image and view a larger picture of the painting including a description of the painting underneath. When creating my website I will see if I can accomplish the task of enlarging the pictures when clicked on. If not, I learned from my workshop that I should make the pictures bigger and include a description of what impressionism art is. I noticed that the Wadsworth does not include a definition of any of its styles of arts, just a description of the painting.
