Fresh Air

      I really enjoyed your site. It was such a breath of fresh air from reading three days worth of the ArtsEdNet digest. I am impressed with your time and ability to set up such a great site! I am an elementary art teacher in Northeast Georgia. I teach at two schools (approximately 1200 students) and have 30 minute art classes with my students once a week. I really enjoy my job and find amiable support from the faculty. I am also working on my masters in art education and I am halfway there:YEAH! Wish me luck!

Semi-Sane!

I'm an art teacher K-6 at Fort Leavenworth,Ks. (over 20 years,and I'm still semi-sane). I have loads of art lessons from (and clothes with various stains from all the major art medias).... Can we share? (not clothes)

A Few Chuckles

      I think your site is great! I am a middle school art teacher and I had more than a few chuckles while looking through the various pages. I am hoping to set up a home page of my own my students to visit. I would definately list your site as a recommendation to them. One suggestion would be to include photos with the lesson plans. Thanks! By the way what is a URL?

Cool Projects and Ideas

      I am impressed with this site. I teach art 8-12, fine arts as well as computer graphic design, and cartooning. There are many sites with valuable ideas and resources but i find this one the best in regard to working with "cool" projects and ideas. Please E-mail any other sites or resources that can be helpful. Thank you. Good luck with this site. It's great! Also, if you know of any really well designed web pages from other high schools please let me know. Thanks.

So Fun!

     I love your site, it's so much fun! I play percussion in my school band. I play snare, belles, bass drum, and quantons. I can type an average of 97 words per minute on my computer. I like animals. Even though I'm only 11, I'm a member of the Humaine Society. I have never gotten lower than an A- on my report card. I'm on the softball All-stars, first string on basketball, all school champ on shot-put, and first string on volleyball.

Home Schooling Fun

      I like this site A LOT! As a home schooling mom with a 6th. & 8th. grader I see this as a great resource to help inhance our curriculum. Also as the local support group leader for our home school group I do a great deal of event planning for group activities. Your site should prove valuable as a source of activity ideas that are both educational & fun! Thanks!!! :)

Great Resource

      I'm an Instructional Assistant in an elementary school. I have little formal art training, but I find myself teaching art lessons for many of the classes in which I work. I work from many different sources, Kesler's Draw Squad, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, Monart, anything that works. We have had a great deal of sucess convincing children that they can draw! It's a day to day learning experience and your web site is a great resource! Thank You.

Let's Exchange Lessons!

      Greetings. I'm a high school art teacher at Fruitport High School in Fruitport, Michigan. I'v been teaching art for the past eighteen years and currently head our two person depart- ment here at the high school. Our school has about 1,000 students this year, with many of them electing to take art at some point in their high school experience. We offer a full range of art courses from basic art to crafts to photography. I am a photographer and graduated from Western Michigan Univer- sity with a BFA in 1978. I look forward to exchanging lessons getting new ideas for my students from your excellent web site!

Love that Painter 4.0!

      I'm a third grade teacher who just recently got the four third grade classes at Clements High School on the web. We're very small right now, but that's because I do the site at home. You see, our school isn't wired for the net. Maybe by October. I love children's art. I take their work and trace it and color with a wacom tablet and Painter 4.0. I try to stay as faithful to the original as possible, though I do like to enhance the piece with some of Painter's effects. I hope you'll visit us soon and write us if you can. I think your site is one of the best. I'm going to show our art teacher, Mrs. Sacszowa (oops! spelling), who is the best art teacher I've ever met. Gotta go now. Gonna make a link to you. Go to http://www.companet.net/~chs/. (Now at http://www.clementshigh.org/)

French Surf

      Grade 5 teacher in a french school. I am enjoying surfing the internet for classroom ideas. Obviously I suggest material in french however, the stuff on your site is quite fun! I am hoping to set up my own web page, hope I can be as original as you have. Who exactly is responsible for this site?

Student Teacher

      This is a terrific site. I worked at the Art Institute of Chicago over the summer and they wanted me to find information for art teachers over the internet. This was the best site I found. I also found plenty of ideas for me, being an elementary student teacher.

Love Those Peeves

      I think that this is a great site. I especially liked your pet peeves pages. it shows kids and adults alike to appreciate what you have and to accept yourself and others as they are. there is nothing that can't be overcome with a little creativity. I also like your lessons pages but we need some more links for downloads to PC's. Keep up the great efforts. they are appreciated.

Who Are You?

      Wow! What a great site! I only wish that you told us a little about yourself somewhere. I'm really inspired. I spent a couple of weeks at summer institute to learn about the internet and a little about making web pages. I have a long way to go before I will be able to do anything close to this. I'm going to work on our school's art dept. web page this year.

Another Cart Pusher

      Great work on this web page. I have been teaching art at the elementary level for 27 years this year , at Cahokia Dist #187. There are no art rooms in each of the buildings that I teach in which is four. I have to push sometimes at least 2 carts, which is a challenge. Maybe you could give me some ideas to make it a little easier. Thank-you
