Abstract
Ashes2Art represents an innovative collaboration between Coastal Carolina University in Conway, South Carolina, and Arkansas State University in Jonesboro that takes the intrinsic, if sometimes problematic, value of digital models and inverts the pedagogical model. Undergraduates create three‐dimensional computer models of ancient monuments based on published excavation reports, build “flythrough” and educational videos, take on‐site digital panoramas and photographs of architectural details, develop interdisciplinary lesson plans, write topical essays, and document their work online with extensive primary and secondary source bibliographies. Beyond the implicit value associated with hands‐on research and faculty–student collaboration, Ashes2Art aims to build a valuable online resource for discipline specialists and the general public. With the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the program currently is reconstructing monuments in the ancient Greek sanctuary at Delphi.
