Piazza's "Art to Go" project helps students use technology to further their art education. Using a digital camera and special computer programs, students photograph their artwork, download images, and transfer them onto T-shirts. To generate a dialogue about the artistic process, the shirts, which students wear to various school and community functions, list student-developed questions under the heading "Let's Talk About Art." Through the project, students develop an appreciation for how art fits into their lives and the lives of others around them.
