Let's Chat About Homeschool Art Curriculum

Homeschool art is a subject area that I love to discuss! I believe that we are so blessed as homeschoolers to have the opportunity to include this important subject in our family's education. Just how a homeschool family chooses to incorporate art into their studies can depend on their goals, ages, and budget.
Let's chat about homeschool art curriculum! What resources and sites do you find particularly helpful in sharing the joys and beauty of art with your children? Also, how do you define "homeschool art'?
Some homeschoolers may define art with more rigid standards. Other homeschooling families include crafts into their homeschool art time. Wherever you fall along that continuum, it is important to have some homeschool art resources for your kids and yourself to enjoy.
Busy Boys Brigade loves to do lots of arts and crafts in our homeschool. I have shared some of our fun projects and craft activities in these posts:

I have also shared how we first started with picture study in our homeschool with How To Make Free Art Appreciation Cards For Your Homeschool. Another great resource that has blessed our homeschool is Drawing Textbook.
I also have used these books on arts and crafts for kids in our homeschool. Fantastic ideas and tips for including the special time in your homeschool learning!
To find even more great homeschool art resources, I turned once again to my friends in Rock Your Homeschool Facebook group. These homeschoolers have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share!
