This is an awesome website that can be used for free.  After accounts have been created, students may browse art collections and choose one that appeals to them.  The art inspires them to write, and they can select different art within a set to create an entire story.  Teachers can give students an assignment or allow them to be free to write whatever the pictures help them to imagine.   Great art collections on this one!
