		<title>Create Your Own Detail Detective</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Engaging students of all levels though a detail search of an image is a great way to introduce a unit or fill a few minutes of extra time at the end of class.  A few of my favorite online sources include:
What is it?

		<title>Turn Old Prints Into New Puzzles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m fortunate to have some duplicate copies of fine art prints &#8212; most were freebies from conferences and workshops. Originally, I divided a few prints into rectangular sections for grid drawings but after inheriting a felt board I started using them as a puzzle (click image at left to enlarge). When students had free time [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Shhh&#8221; Noise Control</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love the buzz and energy of an art room filled with students actively involved in the creative process.  Because of this, I allow my students to talk during art production, as long as they remain on-task and the noise level doesn&#8217;t become disruptive.  However, some of my classes have a harder time with this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Improve Curriculum Delivery with Document Cameras</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If there is only enough money in your budget to splurge on one piece of equipment for the art room then a document camera, in my opinion, is it.
A document camera is not a fancy overhead projector but a versatile piece of equipment that can help improve the way you deliver curriculum. The most obvious [...]]]></description>

		<title>Magic Garbage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When your students are working on messy projects that leave tons of paper scraps on the floor consider using the Magic Garbage technique to motivate a super fast clean-up. I learned this tip from my colleagues in my masters cohort and it works beautifully with my elementary students.
When it&#8217;s time to clean up, explain to [...]]]></description>

		<title>10 Best Image Sources For Creative Projects</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Educating students (and lets face it, ourselves) about copyright and digital citizenship has become increasingly more important as more and more teaching resources are found online.  While creating original image content may still be the best way to gather images, it is not always practical or even geographically realistic. Copyright-free and public domain images often [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The 1920&#8217;s and 1930&#8217;s Harlem Renaissance was an explosion of African-American poetry, music and art. Jacob Lawrence lived and created his art at the center of it in New York city&#8217;s Harlem neighborhood.
