U.S. Copyright Office -- Visual Art Works Registration
The first line of this site says it all: "Visual Art Works: Follow these steps to register your pictorial, graphic, sculptural, or architectural work." You'll find information on what you may copyright, forms, instructions, information on mailing -- everything you need to copyright your artwork. This can be an interesting activity to help students understand the process of copyrighting original work and the ownership of artwork.

Loggia
Founded in 1997, Loggia is dedicated to the study of the arts and humanities. The mission is to provide an informative and engaging experience related to the study of art and art history, architecture and design, the decorative arts, industrial design, and classical studies such as Greek, Roman, and Celtic mythology and literature. The site offers a newsletter, and asks for a donation through Amazon (usually $5). It is highly individualistic, lists book reviews, information about artists' birthdays, images, and other details. You won't find every artist in a search, but you will find a number of interesting articles on a number of artists. Click on Art and find an article on "Visiting an Art Museum," along with several book reviews. It's worth a look.
