When I said "the correct way to do a thing," I didn't mean that all flowers are red and all grass is green, or whatever that song says.

I meant that teaching something like a technique for holding a piece of chalk to make the drawing come out a certain way on the material is useful and saves a student time, so they don't have to re-invent the wheel.

That is not to say that they must never experiment for themselves, just that art lessons can be a good thing.

Creativity Express, Meet the Masters, and More

First, I have to echo that Creativity Express is wonderful! :D It hooks kids right away, and they stick with it because it is so much fun. It is packed; it covers art history, chemistry of art, graphic arts... and the kids get to apply their learning for every unit by doing the art. I believe the creators have experience working in Disney animation.

Meet the Masters is also very popular- where students learn about an artist's style and then try their own hand at it. There is an offline kit-type curriculum for homeschoolers. They are supposed to be getting an online version soon.

Bright Ring Art Books are pretty popular -- and a good way to integrate hands-on art across other subject areas.

Draw Write Now is a great way to sneak in some handwriting along with art.

"Draw Today" is a kit that teaches basic drawing and shading with charcoal... it is a pretty easy way to learn and the kit comes with everything needed, including the video instruction.

A couple of books for drawing include "So You Though You Couldn't Draw" and "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." Also, Prufrock Press puts out a book called Design Studio: Integrating Art & Thinking.

I'd recommend www.artsology.com as a good art resource for kids - fun, interesting, but they still learn from it too.
