Artwire is a fun safe place for any artist to come and show off their artwork and make new friends. There is a ton of fun activities to choose from including art news, entering contests, gaming, discussing whatever it is you would like to talk about in the forums, rating other people's art, and a FREE online drawing class! That teaches you how to draw a head and the fundamentals of many different facial expressions.

The site is in English and Spanish. It is about visual arts and can be very entertaining and educational for parents and kids. Since it is bilingual it has an extra benefit. The texts are written by an art historian and teacher. Has received many awards. Non for profit. From Latin America.

Mystery Monster is a group illustration challenge that invites people to draw & create characters with people from across the web.
It is based on the children's art game where someone draws the head of a character, folds over the paper & another person continues the illustration.
It is meant as a creative, fun way for people to collaborate & illustrate something together. The project is aimed at people of all abilities & allows them to draw digitally or in traditional mediums.

ART ZONE is the interactive component of NGAkids, the National Gallery of Art's web space for children. Art activities such as Jungle (inspired by the paintings of Henri Rousseau), Collage Machine, Flow, PaintBox, Mobile, and PixelFace encourage free expression and visual experimentation. These Shockwave interactives are fun for children (and adults!) of all ages.

Meet Me at Midnight, an interactive art mystery Web site for kids. It's perfect for eight- to ten-year-olds and is meant to be a fun intro to visiting the museum and seeing some cool artwork. Of course, we hope to teach a little something along the way. It all starts with a class field trip to SAAM. One of the students sees a piece of artwork called the "Root Monster." The sculpture starts to wink at the student. The student is startled and he catches up with the group. Then one of the security guards stops him and says that he dropped a paper out of his backpack. When the student reads it, it says "Meet Me at Midnight." Later that night, after he goes to bed, he remembers the note and the Root Monster winking. See if you can save the artwork before the Root Monster takes it! Do you think you are an art master? Try it and see what happens.
