Fresh Looks Fridays - National Gallery of Art - (30-03-2012)

 

Happy Friday everyone! I hope that all of you who are on Spring Break this week have had a relaxing time off; for those of you who are heading into break soon, only 5 more school days!

A very quick Fresh Look Fridays post for this week.  It's been an absolute gong show at our house for the past 10 days (hence my lack of posts), but I promise I'm back into the swing of things here again, so get ready to read :)

I thought it was time to review a great Art site for the kidlets.  The National Gallery of Art has a fantastic section of their site called the Art Zone.

This website is jam packed full of awesome little art activites - some with lots of structure, but most that encourage experimentation and development.  In the classroom, this would be a great site to pull up on the SMART Board, and use to both demonstrate certain art techniques as well as encourage small group artistic freedom as an activity center.  So many awesome features to check out and applications with your kids!

I personally like Brushter, Still Life and Collage Machine, but there are too many other excellent activities on this site for me to review them all.  Put it up on your board and let the kids play (and learn!) away!

Most importantly, have fun!

A classroom educator for 10 years, I’m now thrilled to be working full time training teachers and helping them integrate technology into their classrooms.

Originally from Calgary, I’m thrilled to be living and working in British Columbia and starting to get to know the fabulous educators in my new province.

I fully confess that I am a tech-geek, and thus always brought technology into the classroom with my students. As soon as I got my hands on my first SMART product – I was a convert – and never taught without one again! I was fortunate to be part of several technical trials with SMART – including the SMART Table, which I enjoyed using primarily with my Grade One students.

I spent some time as an Education Technology Consultant and developed my passion for bringing technology into the hands of kids & helping teachers to maximize the tech tools within their schools.

I also love sports, movies and am a classically trained singer.
