Teaching Fine Art Alongside Leaflet


I actually similar the Leaflet-IIIF plug-in for creating a Leaflet based browser for IIIF manifests. I mean value it has enormous potential for creating explanatory lessons close paintings as well as manuscripts shared using IIIF.

The Leaflet-IIIF plug-in page on Github has a few example maps. However none of them include whatever interactivity. I've thence created a quick example using Van Gogh's Self-Portrait Dedicated to Gauguin. My Vincent Van Gogh self-portrait example pans as well as zooms the map to explore unlike features inwards the painting. If you lot click on a push the map zooms inwards on a characteristic inwards the icon as well as loads some explanatory text beneath the painting.



You could of course of pedagogy purpose other features from Leaflet.js. For example you lot could add together markers to the movie which users could interact amongst to explore these marked areas of the painting. Alternatively you lot could add together polygon shapes to a greater extent than or less unlike features that when clicked opened upwards an information window amongst explanatory text. The possibilities are actually entirely express past times your imagination.

The icon 'Self-Portrait Dedicated to Paul Gauguin' belongs to the Harvard Art Museums. The miserable attempts at fine art criticism are my ain as well as should hold out taken amongst a pinch of salt.
