Rdale’s virtual art gallery now live

What happens when a family member lives too far away to see their student’s artwork on display? What if they aren’t available to attend an in-person event? What if they want to share the artwork with their family, friends and neighbors?

Robbinsdale Area Schools (Rdale) visual art teachers have considered these problems, and the solution came in the form of a districtwide virtual art show.

Elementary art teachers first experimented with the idea of a virtual art show during the pandemic. They created a virtual platform to showcase student artwork in a format that families and friends can view online. The project is now being expanded to include the district’s middle and high school artwork as well. 

When people click on a school’s logo, they are taken to the student artwork for that school, framed and displayed together. Visitors can click on an individual's artwork and see the enlarged version, along with the name of the artist and a description of the techniques used in the artwork.

This show will be viewable for years to come and shared nationally and even internationally with the simple click of a mouse.
