Pinterest is a community of bloggers who post photos of things they like onto a virtual pinboard. The designers intended this space to be used to spread artworks and photographs to inspire and educate their members.

This is a wonderful opportunity to get students working on annotating visual inspiration pages online! All students doing art in Victoria are assessed on their ability to locate and comment on visual aspects of artwork that they take influence from. By using a application such as Pinterest, students are able to immediately select and annotate artworks that visually inspire them. I have set up a Pinterest to arrange artworks into disciplines so that I can use it in the classroom. It works as an instant access to a variety of artists to send struggling students to for inspiration, and I can also suggest that my VCE students create one for themselves to assist with their portfolio.
