The Web 2.0 tool I have used most is the National Gallery of Art's The Art Zone, with it's interactive activities for students to create their own masterpieces with Virtual paint, clips, or other digital tools for making their own art works.From first grade through 6th grade, my students have enjoyed this site. Watch out for the ink supply in your printer, because students love to print their compositions to share.

That site sounds great. Using the National Gallery of Art for inspiration and having the children produce art on the computer would provide a great opportunity for students to learn about famous art in an interactive way. And it would cut down on materials costs in the art room. The second half of the video did cut out, so I am not sure if you touched on adding an activity in the art room as well. If materials are available in the art room, once students leave the computer lab they could possibly be inspired to do a second personal piece of art work.
