Thank you for joining me for this fun series on my blog! Last time, I shared an introduction and why I’m writing this series!!
Today I want to share some of my favorite blogs that I’ve come across that are just AWESOME! Honestly, if you just read one of these great blogs, you could probably teach art yourself as well!! I have personally used projects from each of these blogs and my students/children have been successful with them!! Their blogs show enough detail that even the least-art-inclined folks (like me) can help children with these projects!
Top 5 Teaching Art Blogs
- Deep Space Sparkle {an art teacher who shares her wonderful ideas – and I love her blog design too!}
- Artful Parent {entire blog full of amazing inspiration}
- Hodgepodge {tons of FREE chalk pastel tutorials!!}
- Art Projects for Kids {one of the first art blogs I fell in love with!}
- Art is What I Teach {I love her famous artists renditions, she does Van Gogh sunflowers with her students, Monet’s bridge, etc.}
BONUS: just came across this recommendation and LOVE IT! Art History Mom
Do you have any favorite art blogs that I’ve overlooked?? I’d love for you to share your favorites and we can all help inspire each others.

We like Harmony Fine Arts. They have a Sketch Tuesday feature, and Barb ran something similar over the summer, and the kids and I had lots of fun studying each piece, learning what technique was used, an then playing around with it ourselves. We enjoyed going to the site the following week to see our work as part of their ‘art show.’ Interactive and fun!
