Disappointing

I have been looking for an art history app that my students can use without worrying about them coming across nudes, so I was very happy to find this app and purchased it right away. Unfortunately in the first minute of searching I found a full frontal male nude by David Hockney. I contacted the developer who promptly took it off the site. Today I found another full frontal nude of a woman by Picasso, that even a Kindergartner could point out all the body parts, and believe me they would! Hope the developers go through the images one by one. I would love for my school district to buy this to put on student iPads, but I can't present it with nudes.

Not quite k-12

I saw this new edition of Art Authority and downloaded it right away hoping to share it with my k-5 students. Unfortunately, upon searching through only a couple artists, I already found a couple not-so-kid appropriate pics (Alice Neel, Annie Sprinkle). Hopefully as images are found, AA will continue to improve the app for us elementary teachers that are so eager to share it with our students. I love the app, as well as the original, for sharing my kids at home, just not at school. :(
