Incredible Art Department - Ken Rohrer and Judy Decker
Grades
1 to 12This site includes advertising.
In the Classroom
Take some time to poke around to find the gem that will spice up your art classroom. This is a great site to use in the elementary classroom, and in art electives classes in middle grades and high school. Be sure to share it with other teachers on your campus and put a link to this tool on your class website for students to use at home. Enhance learning by using a visual blogging tool such as Telegra.ph, reviewed here. With Telegra.ph you just click on an icon to upload images from your computer, add a YouTube or Vimeo, or X (formerly Twitter) links. Save the URL for your blog! This blog creator requires no registration. The students can blog about their work and even create an online portfolio. Host an art show at your school for families and the communities to showcase the students' creativity. Your students can describe their work as visitors explore the gallery. In a language arts class have students brainstorm to analyze the character(s), setting, and situation of a painting and create an original story. Explore this site before a trip to an art museum.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Cover Art: The Time Magazine Collection - National Portrait Gallery
Grades
9 to 12tag(s): famous people (38), news (221)
In the Classroom
This site would be useful in a Art History or US government class studying the impact of the media on politics. Have students explore the site on the interactive whiteboard, allowing them to be hands on with the material - avoid being the Vanna White of the board! As students are navigating the site, focus their attention on how many presidents and political figures are featured - as evidenced on the link entitled "Most Featured Person." This could lead into a great discussion of how exposure can affect politicians, as well as the difference between good and bad press.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Bound for Glory: America in Color - Library of Congress
Grades
8 to 12tag(s): 1930s (40), 1940s (69), 20th century (168), great depression (32), images (262), photography (132)
In the Classroom
It's interesting how viewing the images in color makes the viewer feel as though the Great Depression was something far more recent - perhaps due to the dated feeling of black and white images. In a discussion of the Great Depression, spend some time comparing these images and the traditional black and white images on an interactive whiteboard or projector. Ask students about the differences and if one is more revealing or not. This can also lead into a discussion on the reliability of primary sources and the effects of seeing something rather than reading it.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Our 100 Favorite DIY Christmas Decorations Ideas - HGTV
Grades
2 to 6tag(s): christmas (38), crafts (90), holidays (245), Juneteenth (23)
In the Classroom
The third topic is 75 (80) Christmas Crafts for Kids. On an interactive whiteboard or with a projector, use Padlet to choose several of the crafts you and your students think they might enjoy making. Even before having students choose the craft they want to work on, start gathering materials. The materials don't have to be for the craft they are making; create a "general materials" box or area in your classroom. Many of the ideas use inexpensive or free materials! For those who don't, think creatively (use paper plates instead of real plates). You and your students may want to plan on walking around the school, and they can walk through their neighborhoods to find twigs and such. Perhaps some of the families have old yarn they can donate. Allow individuals and small groups to choose the craft they would like to make.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
