Education - Not Just for Kids
Free Art Lessons from SVAM
The Silicon Valley Art Museum provides free online
art Lessons. We hope the lessons are
only the beginning of experimenting with different materials
and art forms. This exploration encourages enthusiasm for the
world of art throughout history and in all cultures. Think about
it: all nations and cultures throughout time have created and
communicated through art.
Here are some of the courses we have so far that
are foucsed on teaching children how to have fun and make art:
• Art Classes for
Children Ages 4-12 >
• How Parents Can
Help >

Skills >
