National Gallery of Art - NGAkids

The National Gallery of Art has a fantastic website for kids, and the site is all about interactive art. Many of the eighteen activities can be made easier or more difficult to accommodate the age of the child doing the activity. Visitors interested in American folk art will enjoy the opportunity to create digital portraits and landscapes using pictorial elements inspired by the National Gallery's Folk Art collection, in the activity called "Faces & Places". Traditional folk music even accompanies the compositions, making it a multimedia piece of artwork. The "Flow" activity allows kids to make an interactive motion painting, by using the provided shapes and characters, or drawing their own. Visitors interested in Dutch life in the 17th century will enjoy "Dutch Dollhouse", which encourages the manipulation of work by such artists as Johannes Vermeer and Jan Steen, to create the inhabitants of a Dutch house.
