Craig
Roland created this site for fellow travelers and art educators in order to help
colleagues find out how to use new technologies in their classrooms. First-time
visitors will need to start out by signing up for a free account, and after that
they are most welcome to participate in forums, groups, blogs, RSS feeds, and
photo and video sharing. Some of the groups include "Art Partners", "Students of
Art Education 2.0", and "First Year Art Teachers". The forums are quite useful,
and recently they have included discussions on summer research opportunities,
arts censuses, and the use of streaming video in the classroom. For art
educators, this site is quite a find, and others who are interested in art and
technology more generally will also find it useful.

Artists recognize the primary colors as red, yellow, and blue. These are
pure colors that cannot be created by mixing any other colors. Mixing any two primary colors produces a secondary color (orange, green, and
purple/violet). Mixing a secondary color with a primary color produces an intermediate or tertiary color (yellow-green, red-orange, blue-violet).
