      There are too many words!!! The Art Movements text is entirely too small and there are several sections that look like they were forced in. I usually end up at this site as a result of doing keyword searches...

    Artcyclopedia was one of the least student-friendly sites I have accessed for locating artist information. Although it has a wide range of artist names and listings, one must click several links before finding a substantial amount of information. The lists of associate links can be very lengthy and undesirable to scroll through. By far, this was the most deceptive resource I've located and the least immediately helpful.

      When you get to the third page, there are two links that I find unnecessary. Ultimately, one can become slightly confused as they end up in similar places. The two links seem purposeless. When one arrives at the page of artist names, navigation gets a little more confusing when making decisions about how to get back or proceed. Also, there is a lot of unnecessary negative space on each page. Can you think of other ways this could have been improved?

    A. Pintura was actually one of my favorites back in 2002. This site creates a simple way to get students involved in solving a mystery while drawing conclusions and learning about art styles. Students can make inferences using the information provided even with little prior knowledge. When I used it with elementary children, I was able to hold their attention as I talked them through steps in the computer lab. Unfortunately, this activity has not been updated since then and still needs improvement. It has unnecessary links making navigation slightly confusing. The site lacks variety as there is only one mystery to solve and it could have addressed other art vocabulary.

      How does one promote creativity and put coloring sheets at the top of the navigation list??? Oxymoronic in the least...

    Crayola is like the McDonald's of art supplies. I cannot deny that there they don't make decent products and that there are actually acceptable projects lurking within the search engines. Visually and navigation-wise, this site is great. Why isn't it one of my favorites? Coloring sheets!!! I abhor coloring sheet advocates. While coloring sheets can be temporarily useful for training students to stay inside lines, they are definitely not beneficial for much else.

      Be sure to scroll down in the index section to see the rest of the extremely long list. I think the selection of terms below the alphabet groupings is quite erratic. I was expecting to at least see the elements of art and principles of design listed here for quick reference.

    This art dictionary was not helpful at all when I searched for information to use with my students. It features the infamous "scroll of death" on practically every page. The alphabetical sorting in the left hand navigation index runs together and could have been broken into smaller sections for easier reading. If not paying attention, one would miss that there is another LONG list of terms to click on below the alphabets. Font sizes are inconsistent throughout the site as well.

How Stuff Works - 2 views

It is a site for researching information including education. It could be organized better so that the description is not jumbled up and viewed in an easier format.

You Tube Videos - 1 views

I am not a huge fan of You Tube. I find more videos that are disturbing and not as funny as it is made out to be.

Less usage of Discovery Puzzle Maker - 1 views

I do not like to use Discovery's Puzzle Maker. It has difficulty saving and creating puzzles.

Sites for Teachers - Needs improvement - 4 views

This site needs a lot of improvement. It list many web sites for teachers to visit but the font is too small. It needs a little more detail and divide into sections by subject.
