Recommendation:

CyberMuse offers information and resources for art teachers across ages and subject matter. The Artissimo activities are of high quality with audio. The site provides resources and interactives for a wide range of ages and categories within Art. The site is easy to use and provides a site map. The site is also available in French. This is clearly a site art teachers should have bookmarked to explore whenever planning a unit.
