kids101-art is a Virtual Gallery designed to celebrate the creativity of our children. It has been conceived by art teachers and children in order to bring the world into their classroom. All of our talented children deserve recognition for the effort and resourcefulness they put into producing their original pieces of art.

By putting art work into the kids101-art Virtual Gallery, we are sharing the ingenuity of our children thus building and nurturing their confidence. We all want the best for our children and our children always want to try their best for us - we need to encourage them and inspire their imaginations.

Young people are often enthusiastic Internet users. kids101-art has been designed for the specific purpose of exhibiting art work produced by school children. When building this site, we included very strict access security and created very robust and child friendly policies to ensure that kids101-art is safe site for children.

The following Golden Rules for Family Internet Surfing are published by SUSI - Safer Use On the Internet; an Internet safety awareness project supported by the European Union Safer Internet Action Plan.

  3. Don't believe everything you read or see online.
  4. Encourage children to tell you about anything they find that is suggestive, obscene, threatening or makes them feel uncomfortable.
