This "Theme Page" is unlike most other CLN Theme Pages in that it does NOT have links to curricular resources or instructional materials. It's simply a repository of links to clip art collections (all free on the date of review) which students and teachers may use in their electronic productions. However, the page's topic was sufficiently narrow that we felt it deserved to be included within our theme page collection.

DISCLAIMER: To the best of our knowledge, links on this page are to sites which provide free clip art without any copyright restrictions but we make no guarantees or statements that this is indeed the fact. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that you have permission to download any images from one of these external sites - check any copyright notices that the sites post carefully. Open School is not liable for any copyright violations that may be made by visitors who used this CLN page to link to an external clip art site.
