Added: Classroom Blog Gadget

K-12 Visual Arts Team,

I've gone ahead and added a gadget to feature our individual blogs. In addition to Carl and mine, I know Sarah has one (or two or three). So if you have a blog or website, please add it to the list! This will make it easier for us to keep up with each other's work. I've titled it "Classroom Blogs," and it can be found in the right-side column, under "Blog Archive."

Jelly Bean Stop Motion Animation

I found this stop motion animated video of a song called In Your Arms.  It was all done using jellybeans.  It took about 2 years to make this video.  I have also included a video on how they made this video.  I am very impressed and it would be a very cool project to do with kids in some form

Here is a great video of the about Bayeux Tapestry.  It brings it to life with simple explanations about what is happening.  it would be great for a Art history lesson or European history class.
