Great Places for Clip Art

1. http://office.microsoft.com/clipart/default.aspx?lc=en-us – This site offers more professional clip art. You can look over hundreds of pictures of places, people and events that could be used in the school setting as a teacher or student. The clip art includes cartoons and real people as well as interactive clipart that can be used during power point presentations. Best of all the clip art pictures are free!

2. http://www.freegraphics.com/ - free graphics.com offers a wide variety of clip art and backgrounds for kids of all ages. I wouldn’t worry if I sent my classroom to this site that they would find anything inappropriate or disconcerting. The site can also direct you to 428 other clipart sites for every type of occasion.

3. http://www.clipartconnection.com/ - The downfall of the clipart connection is that you have to join to use the thousands of graphics that are available. If a school is willing to put forth the money the site is amazing. You can view all of their clipart without joining you are just unable to download any of the graphics. If you have the money the site is definitely worth the cost!

4. http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi&q= - while this site needs to be closely monitored because it’s the image portion of google, it’s easy to find real life and cartoon animations that can be used with a variety of assignments. Just like with anything google or yahoo it’s important that parents and teachers educate the children about finding appropriate information and correct information. But with the right background, students can find anything they are looking for!

5. http://www.1clipart.com/ - this site offers backgrounds, templates, and clip art for kids of all ages. Everything on the site is free and easy to download. The clip art is really cute and can be utilized by teachers for creating fun instructional activities as well as students who want to add pizzazz to their projects.
