Pixel Art Sharks!

My son has been trying his hand at pixel art and I thought some of his designs looked so good, I turned them into shark bookmarks. 

His digital art is mounted on card stock then heat laminated on both sides to create a sturdy bookmark. I hand cut and trimmed all pieces. You can find these and other bookmarks in my Etsy shop.

Pet Portrait

After a long break from any kind of art or drawing, my son drew this picture of our new cat "Mishka" today. I was so thrilled to see this side of him again, I just had to post it for you!

I worried that his creative side was fading away. As you can see, I had nothing to worry about. Mommy is so very happy!

Interactive Art For Children

Looking for an interactive art site for children? I found a great one! The National Gallery of Art for kids is full of fantastic artistic journeys. They can create their own portraits or landscapes with folk art images.

If your children like to take photos, they can also explore using and editing photos with a digital camera. Plus design their own abstract images or furnish a 17th century virtual dutch dollhouse.

Of course they can also learn about all the great works of art as well and the history of the artists who painted them. This site has many layers to explore!

My son's own art work has become much more detailed and yet original still, since I added this website to his favorites!
