ArtSite app for iPhone and iPad

**Important** ArtSite will be shutting down soon. Teachers can register to use ArtSites free features, but student access to the Gallery and Portfolio is limited to current student registrations.

"ArtSite is perhaps the most impressive art app out there for those in education. It allows students to create virtual galleries, find out some background on museum pieces and comment on work of other students. It is also a fantastic tool for teachers, who can download pictures from museum websites, and show material to their class when connecting their iPad to a HD TV. This app is cloud-based, allowing users to access it online or on a mobile device."

ArtSite combines a teaching Museum with a student Gallery and Portfolio to inspire curiosity, creativity and a global view of art history.

KEY FEATURES:

• ArtSite is free for teachers! Teachers can create an unlimited Museum to inspire their students. ArtSite starts off with a 200+ page Museum organized in 12 collections. Each page includes art images, a description, and a few project ideas. Teachers can add any number of new Museum pages as well as delete or change the included pages.

• In the Gallery, students become curators of your own art collections. They can simply write about art within the Museum or contribute new artworks.

• In the Portfolio, students display their studio art and writing. Portfolio pages are searchable by year, class, and student.

• With the ArtBlog teachers and students can exchange thoughts and ideas within Gallery and Portfolio pages.

• Teachers can choose Museum and Portfolio pages to form Art Show collections. Students can browse the Art Show for inspiration and reference.

• Searching for art is easy with ArtSearch, the teacher-customized Internet search engine. It’s loaded with worldwide museum websites featuring free images and information.
