Audubon Elementary Art Teacher Reaches Milestone Preserving 5K Student Artworks

MAGNOLIA, TX -- Audubon Elementary's art program, led by instructor Dana Pasket, has reached an extraordinary milestone, publishing more than 5,000 student artworks on Artsonia, the world’s largest collection of online student art portfolios. The achievement has created a lasting digital archive that allows families and the broader community to celebrate students' creativity for years to come.

“It feels so rewarding to reach this milestone. It is amazing to look at all the artwork my students have created,” Pasket said.

Pasket has inspired young artists for more than four years, believing every student's creativity deserves to be recognized and celebrated.

“As an art teacher, I love seeing a student's pride when they finish a piece of art. It's also fantastic to hear my students analyze art and discuss art history,” Pasket shared.

Beyond publishing 5,000 student artworks, Pasket and Audubon Elementary have connected more than 1,000 family members and friends to students' online galleries since joining Artsonia in 2024. These digital portfolios allow loved ones to celebrate students' creativity throughout the school year while preserving their artistic growth for years to come.

“Artsonia has helped build a home and school connection here at Audubon. The families can take part in the students' art journey, and their celebration comments online are so touching,” Pasket said. “Many of my students have out-of-town family members who have access to their page and love seeing the art.”

Pasket is one of thousands of educators worldwide who use Artsonia to create digital student art portfolios. Families can view artwork online, leave encouraging comments, and purchase keepsakes featuring student artwork. Through these purchases, Artsonia has donated more than $18 million to school art programs since 2000.

“Reaching a milestone like this represents countless hours of dedication to students and their creativity,” said Jim Meyers, CEO and co-founder of the company. “Teachers like Dana make sure every child's artwork is valued, celebrated, and remembered.”
