| I am working w/classroom teachers to create a simple research paper for 5th graders. Does anyone know of any websites/books that give good information about various arists & their work? The "Getting to know the artists" series is a bit too young for my students and most websites I'm finding have more adult material. | ||||

| Many of us are using Artsonia to raise funds for our art rooms. My administrator suggested that funds raised from the Artsonia site should be used towards a big ticket item or goal. What do you believe is an item worth saving or fundraising for in your art room? | ||||

| I think I am subconsciously afraid of giving markers to my students and watching them go bonkers with excitement, turning their beautiful artwork into darkly-colored blobs of ink. I would love some new and interesting ideas for marker projects that, well, look good :) Does anyone have a marker project that they love? | ||||

The lessons I teach, that are-in theory-age appropriate, takes these students FOREVER to finish. Does anyone work in this type of classroom? | ||||

I used tacky glue and hot glue, both are coming off equally. I've heard of some teachers using mail guns... but mine are attached to heavy cardboard. Any suggestions? | ||||

Funding for art education is being cut across the board in this country, and I was wondering how you all felt about that. What do you say to someone who says reading and mathematics are more important than art education? | ||||
