Armstrong Students-artists Go Global

Neil A. Armstrong Elementary artists are taking over the spotlight: Jordan Citron, the school's Art Teacher, has teamed up with Artsonia, www.artsonia.com -- the world's largest online kid's art museum -- to display the students' artwork.

Anyone can view the school gallery online at: www.artsonia.com/schools/neilarmstrong1. Visitors can browse the artwork in the school gallery by grade level, or by specific exhibits. Neil A. Armstrong Elementary students join thousands of students from over 130 countries whose artwork is showcased on Artsonia. "This program is a wonderful way to share student artwork to parents, family members and friends," said Citron.

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. 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.

Select 2-D and 3-D student artwork from Armstrong will also be on display at the Lake Anne Community Center for the Youth Art Month Show. Invitations for selected students will be distributed the first week of March.
