Incredible Elementary Art Lessons
This site has lots of great ideas for Art projects. The Elementary Art link is the third on the links sidebar.

Create Your Own Comic Strip
This website lets students make their own comics online!  They can select from 10 fun characters with different moods -- happy, sad, angry, worried and write words for blank talk and thought balloons to make their characters talk and think.  There also are story ideas and prompts to help users create graphic stories.

This site can be used by educators to teach language, reading and writing skills and to facilitate self-expression and storytelling. Parents and children can create stories together, print them to create comic books or email them to friends and family.
