The arts help our students to develop self-confidence, responsibility, security, and acceptance, gain respect and compassion for others, develop self-understanding, discipline and emotional control increase use of language and improve communication skills, increase abilities to solve problems creatively and independently foster curiosity, engagement, and enthusiasm for learning. Kidsmart focuses on creativity, innovation, critical thinking, problem solving, effective communication and collaboration.

Many opportunities for students to create and interact with art. From abstracts to collages, students will definitely find ways to unleash their creativity.

Art Junction serves as a way for students and teachers to further their artistic abilities through the activities, projects, and resources offered on the site. It also allows for students, teachers, or other professionals to not only share their art but also their experiences in creating it. It offers ways for communities to work together for a certain cause, such as thinking of creative ways to help the environment. The blog is also up to date, informative, and full of good ideas.

With this site you can create a face using various types of eyes, noses, lips, ears, eyebrows and hair. Once you have created a face you can manipulate it by scaling it up or down, rotating or flipping it. You also have the option to save your picture and email it to friends and family. Overall, I think this is a good site for children to explore creative technology. My biggest concerned was I could not find a statement on who the target audience was. For this reason be sure to carefully watch children when they are at this site.

I really liked and enjoyed this website! I liked the freedom to personalize the face I was creating. With the editing tools of color and scaling up and down, I was able to create numerous completely different faces. I think this activity could be great for older children and could let them explore all of the options online art sites can offer.

I don't promote coloring book pages. I believe we can develop the children's creative expression more by encouraging them to draw their own pictures.

This would be a great resource to use when counseling children. In conjunction with Art Therapy, the child could create characters to express themselves and situations. These could be saved, shared, and used to analyze the child's progress.

children can create a character and add voice as a means of expressing themselves.

This site allows children to create art in a variety of ways. Children can create pictures by simply printing out a picture to color or digitally painting a picture. This site also provides a wide variety of games based on matching, Internet safety and identifying what is different in pictures. The only down side to this site is your work cannot be saved. If you want to keep your work you have to print it out. I thought this is a great site for younger children because it can easily be navigated through pictures.

Great open-ended collaborative drawing tool.

Am looking for examples of tech integration/ implementation videos, such as these. Hope others will add examples to our Diigo group, that they are aware of.

tool to animate graphics

This site is used to create a "dancing" piece of art. Children can use their creativity to draw and color. Once finished, their artwork is set to music, and it dances in sync. Others dancing artwork can also be accessed and viewed.

Good resource for both parents/ teachers. Hours of fun for kids!

This is a great site for parents, teachers, and kids. It is filled with lesson plans, craft ideas, and thousands of coloring pages.

With this site you can paint, draw, edit photos, put artwork on your blog or website using the art player, and create graffiti. There are activities that children of all ages can take part in, but this site would seem to benefit older children more than younger children. However, younger children could paint and draw on this site. This site is easy to navigate and it's free.

Through the use of a mixture of video and interactive activities, Artiscan introduces children to the world of contemporary visual art. ArtisanCam has been designed to help teachers deliver a creative curriculum and inspire young artists of the future.

Wendy Ewald shares from lessons learned working with children, using photography to express themselves. Lots of interesting ideas.
