I use dictionary.com for my elementary students in Art at Fannin. This is a great resource to get them use to using the internet to seek information. My students tend to come across art words that are "foreign" to them, for example: space, critique, unity, movement, etc. These are some art principles and elements they are learning throughout the year.
