Highlighting Links by Subject for Schooling -Art

Each week there will be a post {or two or three} highlighting some links that have been collected and compiled on the Links by Subject for Schooling page on my blog. At this point, I plan to go alphabetically through the subjects because that’s how I am  but the websites most likely won’t be alphabetized…sorry for any confusion!

Art

Drawspace- This site offers over 200 free lessons on drawing, from beginner to advanced. Choose solo lessons {free} and/or guided learning courses {payment required}. Certification is also available through guided courses directed by professional art educators.

HodgePodge’s Free Pastel Tutorials- Wonderfully done pastel tutorials presented by “Nana” at HodgePodge. The lessons range from a mug of hot chocolate to a chickadee to a Medieval castle to tree reflection. These can be implemented with any age.

Watercoloring Painting- That link goes to the tutorial page where there are step by step illustrations for different ‘skills’ of watercolor. You can also click on the Learning tab on the page to ‘look, read, learn to make art’. Really, have a look all around the site; it is a great resource.

Learn to Draw Portraits- YouTube videos by “EclecticAsylumArt” that give some good tips for drawing portraits. Each video is about 10 minutes in length. My daughter went through the ‘series’ and thought it was helpful.

Jan Brett’s How to Draw…- The name says it all This is a collection of videos from Jan Brett showing how to draw various characters, from her books. The videos are not exclusively of her drawing but are generally short.

Those are some of the links for Art that have been collected. Stay tuned for more link ‘highlights’ every so often.
