This is a great site for lessons in art fundamentals and drawing and painting techniques. There are videos and enough information to grasp concepts without being overwhelmed.

As we begin the school year, I will be discussing a quote by Michelangelo for the students to ponder: "A man paints with his brains and not with his hands."  I hope the students will see that there is more to learn about art than meets the eye.  Actually it is by using our eyes and our brain that we accomplish the most.
