Cobblestone Art’s Center is a non-profit organization bringing the performing and visual arts to persons with disabilities. The  teachers have introduced the popular “Pintrest” application to the  Cobblestone students. They are learning how to incorporate this new social media application alongside their art and computer skills. It allows the students to exhibit their creative ideas and artwork online. There are two ways that pintrest can integrate our program with family, friends and the community. Anyone that joins the free application can “follow” the Cobblestone students and view or purchase the work that they “pin.”In addition to viewing the students work, anyone following the students can submit ideas for projects that the students may benefit from and enjoy.  This unique integration of technology and instruction opens a whole new world to our students. Anyone can view or add to our pins by going to www.pintrest.com and search Cobblestone Arts Center.
