I have recently discovered three new, wonderful interactive art sites! I like each one and I am curious to know which site(s) below you, as educators, might use in your classroom, as supplemental art instruction or free time activities, and why. Thanks!

I must say that I am new to the idea of interactive art websites! I did some google research and found some pretty cool stuff. The first link is to a website that was created by an art teacher. She provides links to about ten different interactive art sites! The second link is to a website that was listed on the first website. I chose it because it is very simple! Unfortunately, I do not know too much about Art, so the simpler the better for my classroom! :) LLoper

Those are great Lauren! But, I realize now I wasn't very clear. I meant for you guys to chose from the three that I listed, after exploring a little. Sorry you had to go to the trouble! Hope you enjoyed it a little ;)
DeleteI will rephrase.
I particularly enjoyed the second website which was by the UC Berkley Art Museum. I found it fun and innovative because it was actually like going on a museum tour. I think that kids will love that. It also asks for input throughout the voyage. Kids love anything where they feel their input is valued. I can definitely see myself using that website. JRabb
ReplyDeleteI know Jahmarkus, I think that one is really neat. And for the same reasons. That one, and all of them really, is a great example of how technology can help bring the arts and culture to students. Which is obviously much easier than traveling to museums! It's fabulous!

ReplyDeleteI liked the first website. I enjoyed how interactive it is and how it captures your attention right away. I feel like this would hold student's focus and get them excited about the lesson. I also think that it has a great list of definitions and tools that artists used. This would be a great asset to an art lesson.
ReplyDeleteThe first one is my favorite too, Erin! So fun and funny, with it's sound effects and visuals. From an art educator's standpoint, it is quite fabulous actually. The elements and principles of art resources are extremely helpful. Thanks for you comment!
DeleteI really liked the first website! I liked the visual demonstrations given in the artist's toolkit. I could see how a few of those could be linked to math concepts such as asymmetrical/symmetrical, the geometric shapes, and linear/aerial.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Casie! As I mentioned in my reply to Erin's comment, as she picked the same site, it is also my favorite and it is an incredible art education resource. Thanks!
