Getting Getty

"In my opinion, an individual without any love of the arts cannot be considered completely civilized." 

J. Paul Getty, 1965.

I am a member of an Art Teachers blog based at the Getty Art Museum. I found out about it at the International Middle Schooling Conference in May this year. Think it was at Prof. Carrington's Seminar..... Anyway every now and then there is some great Digital Art stuff.

Here is a link to join: www.getty.edu/education/teacherartexchange. And here is a link to check out a good article about Digital Art called 'Digital Approach to Art Ed. Gains Momentuem: www.edweek.org/dd/articles/2008/06/05/04artsidebar_web.h01.html?qs=art.
