K-12 resources online for art teachers

[[[[    *        Art Teacher on the Net        *    ]]]]]

Art teachers will find a variety of useful teaching resources at this
site.  Its contents change regularly and so you'll want to visit
fairly often.  Ideas and descriptions of various art projects are
available in the "Art Project Lessons", "Parent Ideas", "Art Project
for Scouts", "Sunday School", "After School Program Art Ideas", and
"Art of Many Lands" sections.  You'll also find great ideas in the
Teacher Exchange and you can communicate directly with the developer
through her Ask an Expert service.

Access to all of the ideas is somewhat constrained.  Some of the
links weren't working or were very slow to load when I was visiting,
there's a lot of distracting clutter on the pages, and I found the
repetitive advertising for Tripod every time I loaded a new page to
be quite annoying.  Also, the organization of the art projects into
the various categories is somewhat arbitrary and confusing - all of
these are good ideas and I would have liked to have access to them
without having to go through the intermediate pages.  You'll need to
spend some time to become familiar with everything that is here and
you might forget where things are located.  Still, these should be
minor inconveniences if you're getting stimulating ideas for your
classroom.

Art Teacher on the Net is hosted by Valerie Colston and is suitable
for art teachers in grades K-12.  It is located at
