IDEAS PLEASE!

I am looking for digital art lesson ideas. For example, like the Mrpicassohead.com site that I am sure you have all heard of. I want the kids to use the mini lap tops in art, go to a website, create a work of art and print it out! Do you any great sites out there? I'd love any ideas, thank you!

Inca masks

In Art class, fourth graders studied South America and the Incas. They learned about the Incan culture, the city in the clouds; Machu Picchu, and the Spanish invasion. Students designed their own Incan mask by embossing metal foil. They focused on making their masks symmetrical. Fabulous work students! ps. I love this lesson!

In Art class, 1st graders have been learning about primary and secondary colors. Students mixed their own green and purple that you see in their Grapes on a Vine painting! Check out what they used to paint their grapes!
