This company wants to give- users the ability to incorporate and change the power point to their teaching or learning style, and add standards or examples from accompanying CD's, as well as use suggested assessments and steps shown in an accompanying folder. The power points have been previously used in classroom situations and have enabled students to have a greater understanding of skills involving line, color and composition and have also aided teachers and artists in learning skill techniques as well as preparing grants. Students have also used the power points to prepare portfolios and plan their compositions with sketchbooks and mathematical grids for compositions.

The products are software that are more that just tools, because they instruct, empower the user with know how, as well as become teacher tools enabling them to manipulate the material to their teaching style.

People don't buy these products for the software itself. They buy them for the benefit they provide to their students as well. The step -by- step problem solving for students enables the teachers to have their students react and the teachers gain incite into the student understandings. The company owner is well known for her teaching and her products. She has gained recognition as one of the leading teachers of art students to colleges such as Pratt, Tyler, Ringling, Rochester Institute, Syracuse, Berkeley and many more. The products that she has used are now available on the market for others to gain an incite into that knowledge base. The company is marketing the product in such a way that hypes the idea of interaction with the web, interaction with students outside of class as well as presenting art life skills for all interested students of art.  There is step-by-step instruction, task oriented CD's, Theme oriented CD's and packets that enable teachers to grade using standards and rubrics, and the CD's are also backed up with tools for teachers including overheads for student use.

Testimonials:

Kristen Grossman class of 2004
The only teacher I’ve ever truly known is Mrs. Mathews, the head of Central Bucks East High School’s art department. It’s not knowing her on a personal level, but more so knowing her passion for the arts and seeing the joy she gets in teaching others. She once told me of the struggle and hardships she endured after high school. She shared with me that she never learned the basic skills needed for college, and once she started her freshman year of college she found that she was in trouble. Through her own personal struggle she decided to give to others what she had never had. Mrs. Mathews has given me knowledge confidence and experience. Not only has she given me knowledge of all aspects of art, but I feel she has also passed down her passion for learning and teaching. She’s gone out of her way, and enhanced the curriculum to make sure that her students have learned enough to impress any professor. Mrs. Mathews is unquestionably one of the most influential teachers I have ever met.

Hey Mrs. Mathews!
I just wanted to drop u a line and let you know that college is great! I love it here at Tyler. My classes are going well and my projects are amazing! I was talking with Erin and she mentioned she was keeping in touch with you, so I got your e-mail address from her. How are things at East? We miss you a lot and we r sooooo lucky we learned all the important stuff from you. We lead the class when it comes to knowing how to use materials and specific art terms.

Colleen Matthews – class of 2000
I want to take this moment to really say thank you to all the professors, and teachers, and co-ops I had along the way. I think about each of you daily, and the things you passed on to me, that hopefully I can now pass on to some other folks (let me say, acquiring a southern way of speaking is far far to easy). I try to stay in touch with my yankee roots. But, Thank you.
