Here is a list of online resources for you to explore at home. Each resource has a short description and the link to take you right to the website. Some are virtual museum tours, some are interactive, and all of them are great fun to explore on your own or with you family. These resources are in no particular order, so take a look at the list and explore anything that may catch your interest. I will continue to add more sites that I find over the next few weeks so you can explore new art at home. I hope you enjoy them!
#MetKids is an interactive site that explores the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This site was made with the help of students and kids of all ages and helps students explore the museum grounds, art by time period, and interesting videos about art at the museum.
Toy Theater is one I found on the Scholastic Website. This site allows students to create using a variety of tools like painting and building with different kinds of blocks. It is a really cool way to explore art making digitally. Tips, watch out for adds because they look like part of the site. Also, if you want to save their art you have to take a screenshot. The site does not save work in any way.
This next one is a collection of YouTube Videos so I encourage you to explore these first as a family. In this series of videos, titled "Lunch Doodles with Mo Willems", author and illustrator Mo Willems asks you to join him for a daily drawing time. He is very creative and offers great art messages to help guide students and families through drawing and doodling.
Bomomo is an online painting process. It is a very simple site with no bells and whistles. The students click on a variety of freely moving circles which in turn creates lines on a canvas. The colors change automatically, but if you wait it will show you the color that will be added. The same goes for size. The longer you hold the cursor the bigger a stroke gets. It is a really fun exploration process. You can even save their work and print it later.
MarcPaperScissors is a collage artist who takes you inside of his studio where he makes his art. He shows how he cuts and glues paper pieces into beautiful masterpieces. This is a great video to watch to get inspiration to make your own collage using cut paper, newspaper, magazines, or other types of paper to assemble into your own collage work.
