I've been trying to find the National Gallery of Art website that Elizabeth talks about in her book but can't. The book has a website of www.nga.org. Where do I find the prints?
Thanks!

Lisa:
It's nga.gov (not org).
But, you prob just typed it in wrong HERE and that wasn't the problem, b/c I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ON EITHER! I remember going there about a year ago and not being able to figure it out THEN! So, it's not you! 
anyone else? (since i'm no help)

Amblesideonline sells prints of the artist they are studying each term but you can also purchase the prints from past artist. I purchase two set (Cassatt and Vermeer) and I am happy with them. They are printed in a 8x11/2 photo quality paper .

I have to . This is one of the most repeated question in this forum. I did a search and I think 8 threads popped up. Maybe there should be a sticky! 
Anyway, here are the other threads that might help. Each is a little repeat of this information and other helpful nuggets of information: Where do you order your prints?
National Gallery of Art teaching resource
Where do you buy art prints?
Masterpiece Art Cards?[/ulr">
where to buy art prints . This thread directly answers your questions about NGA, and I'm posting the quote:

I sent an e-mail to the National Gallery of Art asking about the 11x14 prints. There is no cataolg, but you can request a listing of the prints available by title and artist:
National Gallery Shops Mail Order Department
2000B South Club Drive, Door #7
Landover, MD 20785
1-800-697-9350

If you follow through on the NGA lead, post your results, please!

It's a bit late for this now, but I found that buying calendars was a great way of getting an inexpensive collection of large prints. I covered Monet and Van Gogh that way. I'm kicking myself that I didn't pick up a Leonardo calendar when I saw one in the National Gallery in London. Doh!

Thanks for making me not feel so dumb! I know I'm not the most computer oriented person, but I coudn't figure out that website at all!
I think I'll request the catalog and see what happens. I'll let you know.

I requested that catalog from NGA but never got it. I was disappointed. I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to get prints from them to no avail. I think I will go with calendars. Twelve big prints for $12-14 seems cheap (and much easier!)

Lisa,
You might check out your local public library. Last year, I discovered that our public library has a vast vertical file of 8x11 prints mounted on heavy cardstock arranged by artist. I can check them out for 2 weeks at a time. The best part is, it's free!
I didn't know about this resource until I asked about art prints in the Art & Music section of our public library. The prints are not in the computerized card catalog, so I have to actually go to the library and look through the file to find what I want. But I have access to more prints than I would ever buy this way.
Good luck!
Dawn
