Unfortunately, one of the areas public schools generally neglect is art. Yet learning about art - even in a basic way - is so enriching. One easy way to expose your children to art (and to learn about it yourself) is through the web.Recently, I discovered Garden of Praise, which offers a section on famous paintings. Just click on a thumbnail image, and you and your kids can see a piece of artwork, and learn a bit about it and its artist. You can also see a slide show of other paintings by the artist, find links to learn more, do jigsaw puzzles of the artwork, do crosswords and other fun work related to the art, print a picture for coloring, and even take a quiz. What a great resource! The same sit also has Bible lessons, biographies for kids, music games, and more free material.
