Art Study Landmarks ideas?

[MeaganS]

For a while, I've had art from Ambleside Online that I keep on the wall in our dining room for 3 or 4 months at time.  They are usually about 6 or 7 paintings and a few times a week I'll point to them and have dd tell me the name of the painting and who it is by (that's about the level we're at right now).  I thought it would be a good idea to do an art study unit of famous landmarks.  I'm sticking with manmade ones.  I've come up with a pretty good list, I think, but I thought I'd see if you guys could suggest any that are important that I might want to consider:

 

Colleseum

Parthenon

Statue of Christ the Redeemer

Easter Island Statues

Great Wall of China

Stonehenge

Taj Mahal

Statue of Liberty

Chichen Itza Mayan Temple

Pyramids of Giza

Arc de Triomphe

Eiffel Tower

 

Thanks!

So many possibilities.

 

Here is a few more ideas:

 

The Golden Gate Bridge
Hoover Dam
Leaning Tower of Pisa
Mount Rushmore
St. Peter's Basilica
Notre Dame
The Brandenburg Gate
Hagia Sophia
Museo Guggenheim
Leshan Giant Buddha
Gateway Arch
Space Needle
Washington Monument

This is such a great idea.

 

I have this single volume of Childcraft called "Places to Know" that I got off of ebay really cheaply.  It has pretty good photographs and nice descriptions of various places.  It might be helpful to you in your studies.
