Book excerpt: This package for educators includes a looseleaf three-ring binder, a videotape, and a CD-ROM. The material is not meant as a linear history of this century's art, but rather as a guide to some of the Museum's exceptional works. It can be used on its own in the classroom or as enhancement for a trip to the Museum. Each of 32 paintings is presented with a full-page reproduction, an essay, and strategies for discussion. The videotape contains a 10-minute exploration of one piece of installation art. The CD-ROM is an electronic version of the printed material. Though it may be a peripheral point, Georgia O'Keefe is the only woman whose work is represented.
