Art for the homeschooled tween...

My 12 year old (almost but not quite 13...YIPES!) has an aversion to art. I seriously do not get it. At his age I would spend hours and hours creating, drawing, painting, writing. He absolutely does not want to. Now, if its technology related art then he's more likely to give it a shot. He loves the "ragdoll" type games where he can drag and drop, and he does create hilarious scenes with his "creations." But to put a crayon or marker in that kids hand, you'd think it was attached to the end of a spider!

I'm constantly looking for new and improved ways of teaching him and am just not having much luck combining the free or low cost technology options with his art curriculum. Will still be on the hunt and am taking recommendations!

In the meantime... this looks REALLY FUN to me! http://eisforexplore.blogspot.com/
