REVIEW:
The site has four main areas: an for your classroom, a library & archives. The art gallery and library & archives provide access to the combined resources of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Walker Arts Institute. Users can search by keyword or browse by taking the tours and adventures and create their own online art galleries. Teachers will find a wonderful resource at Fabric Factory, students can choose the stitches and colors for embroidering a design. This is one site art teachers and students won't want to miss!
