Votes:0 A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Learning Partners Let's Do Art! T he visual arts (drawing, painting, printmaking, photography) enrich our lives and help children express their emotions.

Here are some things you can do at home: Keep simple art supplies around the house: scrap paper for drawing, old boxes to cut up for a cardboard "canvas" when using thicker paints or making posters, or pieces of cloth to do pasted up designs or patchwork. Limit pictures to 2 or 3 colors to save materials and to teach children about mixing colors and Read More Go to Site Art Kids Rule ! Votes:0 The Net's Best Place for Playing, Learning and Creating...
