Art Sonia http://www.artsonia.com/

“The world’s largest kid’s art museum.” Artsonia is an awesome website where you can easily load your kids’ artwork. Some people use it for their school’s art webpage. It does take a little extra of my time. Artsonia makes it very simple to let parents know about the website. It is also a small fundraiser where the art dept. gets 15% of all products purchased. Parents can buy mugs t-shirts, etc. with their kid’s artworks on it. People can use the site mostly as a PR tool for the art program. Parents love it. They send the links of their kid’s art to their grandparents and relatives. Visitors can leave comments for the kids. Teachers also use the site a LOT to find ideas of successful art lessons.
