Resources for Teaching and Creating Art at Home!

With students being stuck at home, they are bound to need a break from school work and going stir crazy. Create some enrichment time by checking out the resources below (it will be better than them endlessly watching YouTube or TikTok- I Promise!! )
This post is designed for those with internet access and devices available to explore. If you are looking for internet free drawing lessons check out this post!!


Get Creative from the couch! 

I can't take credit for this , but a HUGE thanks to Mrs. Velazquez for compiling this.

Virtual Trip to Museum

Thanks to Google Arts & Culture you can virtually visit museums with no lines!!
Several museums are available to see exhibits but a few can be toured virtually. Meaning you can navigate the museum like you are there by clicking your mouse and 'walking around'.  Virtual museums with have this icon on their page. Click it and you can begin walking around.
They also offer an app as well!

Virtual Tour (there are so many, explore the homepage to find more)

Louvre  (not through Google, but their own site)


View Artwork Here


Here is a HUGE comprehensive list of museums

I will be adding more museums as the week goes on! I will try provide links that are more elementary friendly. My goal will be to create a scavenger/treasure hunt to get students searching and exploring inside museum.


Scholastic Learn at Home


What an ah-mazing program offered by Scholastic. I just dabbled in a bit, but can't wait to check it out further!  They incorporate all subject areas into an daily topic (spiders, why do zebras have stripes, Physical Science of Sound)


Amazing Educational Resources 

This is an ever growing list of online resources of companies offering free resources during this time. It is HUGE. It is a simple google doc. Scroll through and submit your own as you come across them. 

Here are my faves(click for direct link to source)
Brainpop - Art & Music Videos with followup activities
GoNoodle (movement breaks will be needed with all this downtime-GoNoodle is always free!)

Art For Kids Hub!!


A student favorite! I use this as a reward, for my early finishers and get asked is it Art Hub day often? This father will draw along side his children demonstrating the art elements and principles of design. They usually color their projects, but that is not needed. They also draw with sharpies (easy to see when recording) so don't feel like you need one of those either!  There are several topics and something for everyone and age on this. THIS IS A YOU TUBE CHANNEL!! So beware of random ads. You can add the channel to Kids You Tube and get it ad free-which I highly recommend. 

Their blog has embedded videos with you tube ads but children can't navigate to other suggested videos. Click here to see their blog


Illustrators at Work!


Hang out with Illustrator Mo Willems every day at 1pm and doodle with him!
Lunch Doodles with Mo Willems


JJK will be drawing every day at 2pm!!
Draw with JJK

What should your day look like? 

This schedule from Jessica McHale Photography has been circulating. Very simple guide to help you keep a schedule with children. I highly suggest some routine of some kind-it will help you, your children and their teachers when they return to school!


This is a start! I will keep active on this post and adding more posts as I start my own online curriculum and entertaining my two boys at home as well!

    Hey! Cool list! I was looking around for more resources and came across this website. I think it's great if you add it here too.
