Art Art Art!

From scribbles to masterpieces, your kids can't get enough! Whether you create or appreciate, check out these articles and sites. You can learn about art past and present and improve your own art skills.

Create Art Together!

When grownups and kids create something together, both benefit. The adult absorbs the child's creative spirit and lack of constraints, and the child benefits from the adult's know-how and coordination.

Look What We've Got

On this page you'll find great activity ideas, materials for creating art, and resources for understanding and appreciating great artworks.
