I have no idea where this blog is going. Is for personal reflections, is it to share things that I have made (my flickr page is better for that), is it to share about what I do at work, or is it to inspire others to get out there and create. While I'd like it to be about all of the above, it becomes a bit too cumbersome.
Well, in any case, today's post is going to be about cool online art activities for parents to share with their kids. I'll try to add on to this list every once in a while.
1) The Los Angeles County Museum of Art has this first "I Spy" type activity. You are supposed to find four things in six different paintings. The cool thing is as you move the mouse, it magnifies the portion of the painting the cursor is over. After you find an object, it provides you with a fun fact. There are plenty of additional links to learn about the art in more detail and to visit other areas of the museum. This is probably best suited for older children.
2) The National Gallery of Art has a fantastic site for online art activities, NGA Kids. There are a number of educational activities that focus on specific paintings or artists. In addition, there is the NGA Kids Art Zone. Here you'll find a variety of interactive art activities to try.
I didn't try them all, but I did especially like the Orbital Jam activity and Pixelface.
