Objectives & Structure:
This resource was produced for the major exhibition of Hogarth’s work at the Tate Gallery in 2007. The intention of the site is to provide information about the artist, the Tate Gallery exhibition and offer starting points and ideas for students.
There is a brief introduction to Hogarth and then four self-contained sections.

Description of contents:
The four key teaching sections include:
• Hogarth’s print series, ‘The Four Stages of Cruelty’
• Hogarth’s painting series, ‘The Four Times of Day’
• The portrait, ‘The Heads of Six of Hogarth’s Servants’
• A contemporary artist’s response - Paula Rega’s ‘The Betrothal’ series after Hogarth

Evaluation and Comments:

Description of how the website can be used with the students::
Older students, either individually or as a group, could explore this site as an introduction to the artist and some of his work and influence.
The site would also provide good teacher resources for work with younger students.

Comments::
An excellent site for teachers or students to start to study aspects of William Hogarth in some depth. (see the next web-site evaluation for further references)
