More than just a box of crayons....

As an Art and Art History lover, I naturally thought that my children would somehow be born with that love. Silly, I know.....
Yes, they loved sitting down with me and opening a box of crayons(awww, that new crayon smell!) and coloring in their newest coloring book when they were 3, or learning to use scissors,glue sticks and glitter to create a magical Christmas gift made just for Grandma when they were 5. By the time they could hand draw Pokemon characters themselves, Mom time was forgotten. And Art was nothing more than drawing something simple that they were interested in. You cannot imagine my excitement when a few months ago, Time 4 Learning started offering an online art program. And not just any art program. It allows kids to express themselves freely while learning about Art! Suddenly my kids were interested in Art and allowing Mom to hang with them while they learned! YIPPEE! One more convenient thing that Time 4 Learning has added to their ever expanding core curriculum, which we use for homeschooling.
This gave us the interest to explore what other online art programs were out there! We found several but they were not equal to what Time 4 Learning offered. Then we found some offered Art in game form, so we refined our search to art games. Jackpot! We have now opened new windows in our continuous homeschool adventure! Art was a test program added to our 2009-2010 school year and will become an staple for our 2010-2011 school year! I have already plugged it into our schedule! One more thing off my never ending list for homeschool!
