ST. FRANCIS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS SHARE THEIR ARTWORK WITH THE WORLD!

Anyone can view the school gallery online at: www.artsonia.com/schools/StFrancis667. Visitors can browse the artwork in the school gallery by grade level, or by specific exhibits. St. Francis High School students join thousands of students from over 130 countries whose artwork is showcased on Artsonia. "This program is a wonderful way to get parents and family members more involved in Art Education," said Mrs. Alonzo, visual arts teacher.

All of Artsonia's artwork (20 million and counting!) are viewable online, and any teacher or parent can create an online art gallery for their child or school. Parents will be asked to approve their child's participation and may view each selected image before publication. Artsonia provides several online features such as fan clubs and personal guestbooks, as a way for families to encourage the creativity and imaginations of their young artists. In addition, family members can purchase keepsakes imprinted with the child's artwork, with Artsonia donating 20 percent of their annual product revenue back to school art programs. Mrs. Alonzo will be sending out more information via email soon to all visual art students and their families.

Headquartered in Gurnee, Ill., Artsonia was established in 2000 as an online kid's art museum providing free, educational resources for kids, families and schools to create art projects. Since its inception, Artsonia continues to integrate technology in the classroom, develop multi-cultural understanding through art and increase family involvement in children's education.
