Art Site Links!!

On the left hand side of this blog, I've posted several links to various art websites that are fun for kids (or anyone!).

For example, Odo Sketch allows you to use a special tool to draw online. This is no ordinary draw program! On Odo Sketch, you can layer colors and show value! You can also save your work so that others can see it online. When you click on your finished drawing (or others' finished work), Odo Sketch plays your whole creative process in fast forward!

Another great site is FreeRice, a learning tool that donates 10 grains of rice (for every correct question answered) through the World Food Programme to help end hunger. Not only is this website fun and a great way to learn art history (or math or science, etc), but it's helping people in need!

Do you like to investigate and explore things? Try out Lifetime of Color's "Color Theory vs. Dr. Gray" or "The Art of Crime Detection." This website is full of fun games that teach you about the elements and principles of art.

Do you see yourself as a future comic book artist? Or at least a comic book connoisseur? Then you should check out Make Beliefs Comix! You can create your own comic strip by choosing various characters with various expressions. Want to impress Mrs. Epple? Translate your comic into Spanish (or one of 7 different languages!).

Go! Have fun! Explore! (Just make sure you do your homework FIRST!!)
