Artventure is an online art tutorial hub for kids. I hesitated before buying this. Art with my kids tends to end like this, and this was only the beginning of the mess:
I vowed to never ever do art with them again. Well at least nothing that involved any mess making chances. They were limited to coloured pencils and on extremely rare occassions crayons and textas.
Although Texta's normally end like this:
So now that you can see my hesitation. I can tell you how much I LOVE artventure and LOVE watercolour paints.
The lessons are simple and very well explained. The kids love following them and then placing their own mark on their artwork. I love that you can search by difficulty, grade and subject, although I cannot seem to work out how to filter all 3 at once.
They are asking every day to do another lesson.
I think the tutorial is keeping them engaged so their little creative sensory seeking minds don't begin to wander into areas they shouldn't. Clean up was a simple tip out the bowls of water and a quick wipe of the table.
I am so pleased I took out this subscription. I wish she told us where to buy cheap paper and paint. And it would be nice to use a few different mediums (but never ever glitter).
If you like me hate art, and have no fantastic skills at it. Artventure is a fantastic way to introduce your kids to creating amazing art works.
Below are two created by Mr I, this last week.
