DeviantART is a site for showcasing your original artwork. There is a friendly community interested in numerous art styles from Animations to Traditional Art. It is much like youtube but for art.

This website had quite a few examples of some murals, they seemed to be a different style than I am thinking of doing, but they are nice to look at. They seemed very detailed and realistic. Another thing about this site is that you could be more specific with the type of mural you would like to look at, like; children's rooms, ceiling murals, museum murals, and more. One of the better things about this site was that it had many links to things related to art, but otherwise, this site was not my favorite because there were not many different painting styles. Overall, this site was not very helpful.

when you think of the Gif visual format you might not think art, but This artist uses Gif to animate relics of our technological past. Check out these blasts from the past!!!

This website is a great source that has taught me a lot about different shading techniques. The purpose of this website is to simple give you shading techniques. This website was really useful for me when I had to bring home artwork to finish and couldn't have the help of an "actual" art teacher. This source is very reliable because the website was created by a former art teacher and student in Scotland. I also found this site helpful from all the descriptions and visuals that helped walk me through the process of shading. I feel like by focusing on little tricks and techniques that were given on this website has made me a better artist and my art pieces more appealing.

This is a YouTube channel filled with excellent videos for all different types of ceramic art.

This is a sight for artists to post their work on. It creates a community where people can share and also get inspired by looking at other peoples art. A piece that caught my eye is a linoleum block print of an iris.

The Candid Frame is a photography podcast which, surprisingly, has a lot more to do about the vast art world then photography.

AMOCA stands for the American Museum of Ceramic Art, which has multiple exhibits and holds events, tours and workshops. The museum is in Pomona, California and is a great place to go to look at some nice pottery. There is a wide variety or mediums within ceramics and the exhibits change often!

I learned quite a bit from this site about the foundation of art, and I still use many of the pictures on it for references to draw from.

For this "How to Paint a Mural" site, I found a lot of helpful information about what materials are needed, what type of paint I should use (which I already knew from Ms. Cleary), and what techniques I could use to paint the mural. Even though they used specific brands as some examples of paint brands, this site also gave some examples overall. Besides all of the mural information, there was other drawing and painting advice that I might want to look at another time, including different media. This site seems interesting for people that are interested in art. Not only does this site have great information, it also isn't boring looking, and you can find what you are looking for. I'm glad I looked at this site even if I saw tips and information that I already knew.

I used this source to help me get ideas for hard candy recipes, particularly older styles of hard candy like lollipops and barley sugar candy, so that I could try making some new types of candy. The author talks not only about the recipe, but about the crucial steps that you have to take to make the candy come out the way that you want it to. I did not see anything like this on most of the other recipes that I looked at. I would highly recommend this to someone who has cooked candy before. I would recommend having practice in the art of cooking candy before attempting any of these recipes.

Analyzing an artist's work means studying the elements that make up an artwork. I like this site because it gave me good information and questions that I can ask about a artist work to analyze it in depth.
