What a great site to use for reading novels, prewriting a narrative writing piece or outlining history. I think students would enjoy this and it would really help to organize their ideas.

Three years ago, I scanned over 250 photos into my families computer to create a photo mosaic for my parent's wedding aniversary. This Web 2.0 application would have been helpful.

First of all thanks for visiting PicArtia.
Due to requests from our users, we would like to point out a few hints for having a better experience with PicArtia:
This site would be interesting to use in a geometry in high school or an art class to explore shapes, shades, and contrasting images. As a math teacher, this would be a creative approach to learning.
"Kim Komando" selected us as the "cool site of the day" on 5/9/2008:
This website could be used in a geometry class, or an art class. This could be one activity that you could easily relate to geometry content, perhaps replacing the age-old project of stellated dodecahedrons.
PicArtia is an online application that gives you the opportunity to create your own photo mosaics for free. You can use your own photos or download others from the web. PicArtia is free to use, however you can order high quality versions as well. HIgh quality prints start at $3.
Cons: Still in the works, will soon have the opportunity to create photo mosaics out of your own photos in Flickr/PhotoBucket or your hard drive, but not yet
