 | | Interactive art that you can make online. | | | The National Gallery of Art: Classroom offers teachers ready to use lesson plans that connect art to each of the major subject areas and a range of grade levels. Each lesson includes an overview, student activities, printable worksheets, resources and a glossary. Additionally, lessons are grouped into a number of topical categories such as portraiture, still life, sculpture, ancient art and dozens of others. Interactive student activities offer students the opportunity to design their own mobile; draw, paint and print their own medal; decorate cakes in the bakery; or become a myth-master with the game of gods and symbols. The NGA also has a host of free loan materials that teachers and home schooling parents will want to check out.

REVIEW: A
Children will enjoy learning about the use of depth, light and atmosphere in creating landscapes in this interactive game. The simple tutorials teach children about setting the mood, using size to make objects look close or far away, and how to use lighting and objects to show the weather. Simple interactive quizzes throughout the games reinforce the basic concepts.
