Welcome to the Art page

I have to say, and everyone that knows me will gladly agree, that I am terrible with anything resembling art. I can make a fairly decent stick figure, but that's about it. Nonetheless, I strongly believe that art is undervalued in the curriculum of most schools. So, here is a start on using the internet for teaching art.

Artcyclopedia, is a site that has some interesting information about art and artists. You can find a list of the 30 most popular artists, recent art news, scans of famous art, a list of art museums by countries, and more. If you are an art teacher or just interested in art, this is a site that you may find useful.

Artsonia Student Art Museum, is an online museum where you can place student art. This is a site for schools and teachers to use so that parents can see their children's work online. This is an excellent site for the international art teacher if s/he wants to display student artwork for relatives back "home." Artsonia is an educational company based in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Their goals are to: 1) Integrate technology into the classroom; 2) Develop multi-cultural understanding; 3) Increase parental involvement in their children's education.

The Practicalities of Moving to Bali: A Primer for Life in the Tropics

My eBook on expat life in Bali is now available for purchase. Please click on the link to learn more about this book that you'll want to read if you plan on moving to Bali. Here's what a reader has said about this book:

"Bruce Pohlman's e-book has already been a godsend to my wife Elsha and me. He writes in an inviting and colorful way. He covers the GENERAL: culture shock, the wonders and risks of living overseas, to the SPECIFIC - costs of living, housing, medical issues, visas, employment. He even includes much PERSONAL info: what expats are like, why he left a job in San Francisco and ended up in Bali, personal and family relationships. And much more; anything you might want to know is in his e-book, with links to helpful websites throughout. We've used it to guide us countless times; it's like having a trusted uncle who's an expert. This book should become a classic about Bali."
