Clip Art (elective) - Use sites like these to help you find the image you need.  I have listed sites I thought were the best to use for me, as an art teacher, but they all contain images for many different subjects and interests.  After reviewing many clip art sites, I feel these were easy to use and have a variety of images.  I have listed my five favorites and included a clip from each. \\cypress\cdoyon$\slm521\MyWeb\ClipArt.htm
