Art projects posted on online service
By Amanda Rubottom
Stockton students are having their artwork posted online again this year thanks for Art Teacher Barb Henson’s work with Artsonia.
One day somebody had a dream that every child would have an online art gallery where they could keep their artwork forever. Today 5,995,303 children have art pieces on ArtSonia. In addition to bringing home artwork and hanging it up on their fridge, the students’ work can also be put on T-Shirts, coffee mugs, mouse pads, or even on a card for mom. Besides just displaying artwork and buying things with their artwork on it, children can also have a fan club with friends and family where comments can be made on the artwork.
When a student completes a project, Henson takes a picture of it and puts it on ArtSonia.com.
Right now the Stockton High School students are doing a silhouette project where they have to find a black picture of a human or animal and cut it out.
Hailey Pasilas, sophomore, is doing the silhouette project. “Personally, I’m not doing too good, but I haven’t gotten very far so I hope to get better,” she said.
“I think it is quite fun. She gave us the silhouette project which I have never done before,” said Peter Sabell, freshman. “Actually my silhouette project is not going very good right now but you always got to think your getting better and always try your best even if you don’t feel like it.”
