Re: First Ascii art :)

What a timely post this was!  My sixth grade, twice-a-week computer class
is learning about ASCII Art.  They have word processing in another class. 
Mine is enrichment.  

It was immediately obvious how connected ASCII Art is to math.  The
math-challenged students had a much harder time copying even the simplest
character.  They also have the most to gain.  I am using a LOT from this
newsgroup...all with appropriate acknowledgments.  After 2 lessons copying
simple characters I gleaned from here and web pages mentioned in your
posts, we went on to creating signature files.  Again, a lot of neat ones
from here were used as examples.

Since you asked, I would like to post a few of the creations here when they
are finished.  I am sure they will be thrilled with any comments you may
have for them.  You folks have a fan club!  They even know some of you by
name.
