Enrichment Projects, Assignments and Fun Art stuff...
On this page you will find links to YouTube videos, interesting articles, Pinterest pages, contests, reference material and even fun art projects that I have found on the internet. All of this is designed to be fun, inspiring and give kids who are curious about art, or are determined to go to art school one day, an outlet to explore and connect with art. My hope is also that parents/guardians can sit down with their children and connect with each other too. Hopefully, anyone who looks through this will find it as interesting as I do. And, if anyone finds really cool things to add please let me know. Enjoy!
