Do I need broadband to access kids101-art?
Although a broadband connection would make it faster and smoother to load and view the images on kids101-art, it is not really a requirement. We would encourage teachers to use a broadband service when they are loading the art images to kids101-art.

How was it started?
Several years ago, a school Pyramid was looking for a way to exhibit pupils' artwork so that visitors can get an overview of the areas' achievements in this field. The visitors that they were hoping to attract were the students and their parents from the other schools in the pyramid. Fortunately, the attraction to the Virtual Gallery grew beyond their expectations and many other schools were asking to place their own exhibits in the Virtual Gallery.
kids101-art was created to meet the growing demands for displaying original art produced by school children in the UK.
