Artsonia

My school is a member of Artsonia, the largest online student art museum. Artsonia showcases artwork from thousands of schools around the world. Artsonia’s goals are to help develop students’ pride and self-esteem, increase their multicultural understanding through art and involve parents and relatives in student education and accomplishments.

Besides showcasing our students’ artwork on the Internet for the world to see, Artsonia also offers parents high quality gift items imprinted with their child’s own artwork. Each school receives 15% of the total order revenue. Therefore, not only are these products excellent gifts for friends and family, but every order directly supports the educational program here at my school. Some of the gifts include t-shirts, jewelry boxes, key chains, and greeting cards.

Artsonia is a safe, secure site where teachers can create an account and upload images to an art gallery. I categorize my galleries by grade level and class period. Last year, my school received a check for $50 from all the gifts that parents ordered!!
