Art at Wealthy: Pearlescent Watercolor Fish

The students are practicing drawing from observation. They have several options of fish to draw.

Artsonia

Artsonia is an online art museum for students. Parents can purchase items with their student's image, such as mugs, t shirts, etc. Our art program would receive 15% of all purchases.

How does it work? Art teachers choose one or two projects per year (or more) and post each student's artwork. The students would be assigned a number to maintain privacy. Parents are then able to log into Artsonia and view their child's artwork and select a customized keepsake. You can view options here.

Please take a quick moment to share your thoughts in the poll below. I would happily participate in Artsonia if an interest is indicated.

Thank you!
