My son loves to draw. He used to
ask me how to draw fishes, spiders, trees and others. Unfortunately, I am not
that blessed in this field. Good thing I was able to encounter ArtSquish.
ArtSquish is a vital site for Art
Educators or homeschooling parents. It contains lots of drawing and other art-related
tips.
The site has two sections –
JuiceBar and Teaching System.
The JuiceBar is free subscription
which shared all kinds of information about teaching, tips, tricks and techniques
in arts.
On the other hand, the ArtSquish
Teaching System is a paid subscription which offers two class sessions every
week for each grade level. The subscription costs $16 every month but it
already covers everything. This will save you time in thinking of what lesson
to discuss next. With this, you will have more spare time to spend on other
matters.
Other features under subscription are “how to” articles for
teachers and homeschooling parents, classroom materials like posters, handouts
and graphics, training videos that can be shown to students. An auto blog is
also available which let you send links to parents for them to discuss each
topic at home.
Here is a sample of Matthew’s drawing. I guide him in making
this fish which I got from Weird Fish and Crazy
Tools Lesson under Grades 1 & 2 category.

With the help of ArtSquish, Matthew is not the only one to learn, me as well.
Do you kids love to draw too?
