INSTRUCTIONS FOR ARTEMISIA* IMAGE PROGRAM
ART HISTORY

Artemisia is a project, the purpose of which is to provide the students in Art History with images from their professor's lectures over Dartmouth's computer network. Think of these images as a supplement to the lectures and text books and not as a substitute for attending class. Also, the vast majority of color monitors available on campus can only display a fraction of the colors present in the slides. Therefore, you should not make judgments about the color of the original work of art based on the Artemisia images. Also, if any information presented in Artemisia is not consistent with your notes, go by your notes. For spelling, titles and dates your slide sheets from class are the authority you should use.

*Images from Artemisia may not be copied, printed or downloaded. Artemisia is solely for educational purposes and is intended only for the use of students in specific Art History classes.

To sign on:

1) Click here (Artemisia) and it will take you to a page where you can download the correct version of Artemisia for your computer.

2) When you open Artemisia you will see a sign-on box. Your name will come up,
and you will need to enter your Blitzmail password. You will not be able to sign-on unless you are authorized as an Art History student for the current term.

3) When Artemisia opens, first select the course name and then the date of the lecture
you wish to review. A list of slide numbers will appear. If you wish to test yourself without seeing the names of the works of art, just click on one of the numbers to open an image. If you prefer to see a list of short titles choose "Show Image Info" from the
Info menu. Once you have opened an image you can use the "Info" button to show or suppress the identification of the work of art.

4) You can choose the magnifier, place it over any part of the image you would like to see enlarged and click. To get back to the previous size, hold down the shift key and click the magnifier. You can also enlarge or shrink the image by choosing different values in the "Scale" pop-up menu.

5) It is theoretically possible for you to have more than one image open at one time, but only the image in the foreground will appear in the best possible color. If you get a message that tells you that the computer does not have enough memory to open another image, then you should close some images before going on to another.

6) The Help-Desk computing consultants will not be able to help you if you have problems running Artemisia. If you have difficulties, please blitz Steven Dyer and give me the best description you can of the problem you encountered and tell me what kind of computer you were using. I will get your message the following morning and will report the problem to the programmer. Your feedback on problems will be very helpful in improving the program. DO NOT take your questions about the program to your professor.

7) Along with Artemisia we also have a glossary of art historical terms which we hope will be useful. Try it out and see what you think. Not all definitions are available yet, but we are working on it and hope that you will enjoy using the parts that are done.

8) We welcome your comments and suggestions. Please Blitz these to Steven Dyer.
