Free Clip Art Sites
The following clip art sites are some of my favorites. These sites are student-appropriate, and are easy to navigate. I selected sites that had a good variety of images, or uniqueness about them.
This site contains a huge number of clip art images, including photos, illustrations, and animated gifs. The site has an excellent selection of images from multiple categories. It also has a search option if you're looking for something specific. Images appropriate for all ages.
