My Take
The most important aspect for me is the ability to share completed work prior to it being crushed in a backpack. It also enables me to view students completed work as a portfolio for assessment purposes. My focus is on growth and I can view completed portfolios for all the years a student has been with me making that visual very simple to attain.
How I Use It
All of my students' work is posted on Artsonia. Upper grades continue with the process through critique and artist statements.
Work is shared with Fan Club members who voice their appreciation of the availability.

Great virtual space for 21st century art students to share work with teachers and parents!
As a teaching tool, I would use this resource to post video demonstrations and/or examples along with all major lessons/projects so that all students always have access to my lessons and always have support, even when I am not available. This is great for absent students and virtual learning situations.

Artsonia allows my students to be published artists! A wonderful on-line gallery used by families and teachers. I can see records and track student growth by using Artsonia.com!
It is a lot of work to upload artwork from all of my students year-long. It is worth it because I get so many compliments from families saying how much they love Artsonia.com. I also get 20% of purchases made, it is a win-win!

Best. Ever. for Art. Period.
I started using Artsonia 6 years ago. The concept was very intimidating at first (I put it off for 3 years), but having all of our students' artwork readily at our fingerprints sold me, hands down. Artsonia has an amazing staff and awesome support videos that walk you through getting it set up. Literally you email them 1 excel spreadsheet (that your secretary can do in 3 mins.) and you have all of your students in. I started with my own phone, and in a few months, I had earned money earned from Artsonia to buy an iPad. Once my principal saw the engagement, response from parents, and how I use it as a teaching tool, she purchased 6 mini iPads and a docking station for me. My 2nd - 5th Graders do all the work on uploading their own. K & 1 are uploaded by a special team of 5th Graders I choose.
