http://www.nytimes.com/pages/arts/design/index.html - Here you will find all of the latest events in the Fine Arts & Design happening in NYC!  Great to view and read the many interesting articles and stories.  It is also very important for me to make sure I visit NYC occasionally considering I am only 45 minutes away.  This is a perfect way for me to be reminded of all the amazing happenings in the fine arts and share them with my students.


http://graffiti.keusta.net/blog/ - Some may think graffiti is not Art, I happen to think differently.  My students have always shown an interest in this form of art, and why not teach them the proper way to share their creativity without damaging property.  I enjoy viewing all of the interesting talent that this site has to offer.


http://artjunction.org/blog/ - This site is titled, the art teacher's guide to the internet. It has information including art ideas, tools and resources for teaching art and design in a post-digital age.  It has a lot of very informative and valuable information on incorporating technology into art lessons.


http://digitalartbytes.blogspot.com/ - This site is also geared to the digital incorporation to the Fine Arts.  It is specifically for art teachers and tech teachers interested in integrating digital art in the classroom.  They have beautiful examples of art work from all ages, and also incorporate lesson ideas.


http://www.ted.com/ - I was so happy to be introduced to TED by our last professor.  With such an inspirational speaker, it helps keep things in perspective.  A very good way for you to refresh your thoughts or just look at things in a different light.  A must see!
