INFORMATION ABOUT NGA KIDS:
NGA Kids is sponsored by the National Gallery of Art, a national art museum located in Washington, D. C. It houses one of the finest art collections in the world. The museum has the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Americas. In this wonderful interactive web 2.0 site, children can explore some of the museum’s holdings online, as well as create their own art projects using the site’s interactive tools. NGA Kids provides a fun way for students to explore the world of art and unleash their own creativity.
While most of the site’s activities focus on art appreciation, teachers can readily integrate the interactive art tools into lessons across the curriculum.

When paired with learning content in social studies, science, math, and language arts, these activities can inspire creativity while developing investigative and analytical skills.
