Merchandise can be ordered featuring your student’s artwork and Mrs. Walterscheid receives 20% of the sales to purchase supplies. Student artists can have a “fan club” family and friends who can see and comment on student’s art. Artsonia keeps the artwork on their site indefinitely, allowing you to view your child’s art for years in the future. The art is only made public when a parent fills out permission on the Artsonia site. This site doesn’t reveal personal information about the student, access to the art is controlled by Mrs. Walterscheid and the parent.
