Online art resources for kids - Metropolitan Museum of Art
This is just a snippet of resources available to your family to give your children more knowledge of art (and perhaps you too - I learned most of what I know as a homeschooling mother trying to learn more to pass on to my kids). I love the multi-disciplinary approach.
Access biographical materials on a selection of artists as well as general information about their work:
The Dancers and Degas
Join special guests on a visit to the galleries and find out what dancers can tell us about Edgar Degas. Listen, look, and create your own sketch in this fun activity for all ages.
How Van Gogh Made His Mark
This interactive exploration of four landscape drawings introduces young visitors to the creative genius of Van Gogh the draftsman.

This is a great link. We also like http://www.artsonia.com/ for master-inspired art done by kids.

thank you for this! I didn't grow up in a home smothered with the arts, so I grabbed my 5 and 7 year olds on my lap and went straight through the links. I was surprised when they eventually lost interest as I couldn't tear myself away! :)
