As we discussed briefly in class, Mary Ann Wark discovered that the Getty has a series of books developed around themes that could offer some inspiration in developing tours–as well as having good research on the symbolism of many elements.

Angels and Demons in Art
Symbols of Power in Art
Artists’ Techniques and Materials
Music in Art
Food and Feasting in Art
Nature and its Symbols

There are a few more that aren’t out yet as I understand it….”
