**//A Sketch a Day//** While on Twitter today, I found a link to a page with teachers who use Tumblr, and found there, a link to one teacher's Tumblr account called [|"A Sketch a Day"]. I thought this was an excellent way for the teacher to share his art work. Let me know what you think. Would you consider a website (blog) like this one? Here is one example that I found on the site:  **//Using the Arts to Promote Critical Thinking//** The recommendation for this site comes from MaryEllen in the EDUC 584 Waterbury class. She recommends checking out from the site Teacher Channel, the video "[|Using the Arts to Promote Critical Thinkin]g." If you have a chance to watch the video, let us know what you think. If you're writing your research proposal about the connection between art education and multiple intelligence, you might even be able to use this video as a reference. Kritzia- What a fun video. It was refreshing. It's not often that we're able to observe other art teachers' classrooms. It was great to hear much of the dialogue I go through in my head, but out loud. Thanks for that! Judy--glad it was helpful to you. You might recommend the video to other art teachers in our class and others that you know.

Andrea- Thank you. I like their open ended questions, especially about the value in the water. They are both good teachers. **//Google Art Project //** Have you heard about the Google Art Project? Because a good number of you teach art, I thought you might find this project of interest. I know it is not related to our research proposals, but wanted to share the information with you, and the wiki seemed one way to do that. Here a link to read about the project: Google Art Project: Scavenger Hunt

I would be curious to hear your opinions about the Google Art Project in general; check out the project. If you have a Google account, you can easily log in to explore the project. Google Art Project
