  • Incredible Art Stuff (incorporates 'Incredible Architecture')
    Welcome to The Incredible Art Department. This site began in late 1994 as a showcase for Ken Rohrer kenroar@yahoo.com <kenroar@yahoo.com> elementary art students in a school in Indianapolis, Indiana. This site was the second educational website in Indiana. The first was a 5th grade classroom in Brookview Elementary. My district was not ready for this exposure so they told me to remove the site. Instead of completely folding it, I decided to open it up to the world. The response was phenomenal. I received 8,555 visitors the first year. Now the site receives millions of visitors each year.
    Now part of Princeton Online.
