When the coronavirus pandemic quarantine period began in Spring/Summer 2020, I realised that lots of people were going to find themselves at home with their children for several weeks/months looking for things to do. So I decided to post a draw-along video every Tuesday and Thursday that parents could watch with their kids and, hopefully, make some nice pictures. They have proved very popular, garnering millions of views across the world. On 21 May 2020 we broke the Guinness World Record for the largest online art lesson when 45,611 households drew a whale with me. From September 2020 lockdown gradually began to ease and kids started going back to school, so I decided to move the #DrawWithRob video slot to Saturdays at 10am BST/GMT so that kids can join in with my Saturday Art Club. And then in August 2021 as life returned to (something like) normal, the videos began to be released slightly more sporadically. But I'm still going! Keep an eye on my social feeds or sign up to my newsletter here to find out when the next video will be released.

Here are all of the videos (scroll down the page). Feel free to watch and share them with anybody and everybody. I'd love to see the results, so please send me your pictures on social media using the hashtag #DrawWithRob. I am @RobBiddulph on Twitter, @rbiddulph on Instagram and robbiddulphauthor on Facebook.
Oh, and please subscribe to my YouTube channel too.

I'm delighted to say that DRAW WITH ROB is now an incredible activity book series (every page features perforated edges so you can easily tear out and display your art). The first book is a Sunday Times number one bestseller, the winner of the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award 2020 and was shortlisted for Children's Illustrated/Non-fiction Book of The Year at the British Book Awards 2021. The second book, Draw With Rob at Christmas, is also a bestseller and was the WHSmith Book of the Month for November 2020. The third book, Draw With Rob: Build A Story, the fourth book, Draw With Rob: Monster Madness, the fifth book, Draw With Rob: Amazing Animals, and the sixth book, Draw With Rob at Halloween, are (guess what) bestsellers too! They are all available to order here.

Explore the work of French artist Henri Matisse (1869-1954). Painter, Draftsman, and collagist, Matisse was a central actor in the Post-Impressionist art movement in France. He was noted as one of the greatest colorists of the 20 th century, with his innovative use of contrasting pure colors, as opposed to the shading typical of earlier impressionist artists. The result of this are bright and often cheerful works, reflecting his goal that his art be "devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter."

With these artist doodles, children can add their own artistic flourishes to the artists' work and feel connected to these great master painters. Toy Theater is trusted by teachers around the world to provide their elementary school students with safe online educational activities and games. Free to doodle, priceless for learning.

Discover the world of art in a fun and easy way. Explore and learn about some of the most famous works from the Gallery's collection, make your own art, and share it with friends. The NGAkids Art Zone app for iPad lets you explore your inner artist.

Description

The NGAkids Art Zone app has eight interactive activities inspired by works in the collection of the National Gallery of Art, plus a sketchbook for freehand drawing and a personal exhibition space where users can save and display art created with the program. The child-friendly interface, easy-to-use tools, and the overarching emphasis on discovery, careful looking, and artistic self-expression make the NGAkids app educational and fun for the whole family.

NGAkids activities are designed for children to use-unassisted-in a recreational, nonacademic context. They are not art lessons, although our programs are extremely popular in schools and are often used as an adjunct to the traditional curriculum. The low-key activities preserve a sense of quiet exploration that encourages artistic expression and creativity. This absorbing, self-directed interaction has a long-term impact. The fact that children are encouraged to figure out how things work and to mentor each other adds a unique dimension to the experience, one that sparks a personal connection to art that often lasts a lifetime.

If you share artistic creations made with our app on social media, please be sure to include the hashtag #ngakids. We look forward to seeing what you make!

Don't have an iPad? Email [email protected] for the PC version of these interactives.

Special Features

The NGAkids app provides an immersive experience as children visit a virtual art museum and explore a variety of works spanning more than 300 years of art history. High-resolution graphics, careful attention to detail, and exposure to a variety of subjects, painting styles, and techniques help convey an authentic understanding of the artistic process and reinforce their familiarity with the fundamental elements of art. Although not games in the traditional sense, unexpected animation and audio features enliven the programs and help make learning fun.

There are 10 sections to explore:

* Portrait
* Landscape
* Seascape
* Still Life
* Action Painting
* Exploring Color
* Color Field
* Collage
* Sketchbook
* My Art Gallery

Works of art by a wide range of artists-including Edward Hicks, Fitz Henry Lane, Berthe Morisot, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Mark Rothko, Josef Albers, and Robert Rauschenberg, along with several anonymous American naive painters-serve as inspirational models.

The National Gallery of Art is committed to producing quality children's programming that provides informative, entertaining, and age-appropriate content for kids of all ages. We hope you and your children enjoy the NGAkids app, and we invite you to plan an in-person visit to the Gallery, where many of the original works of art that inspired this program are on display.

NGAkids is supported in part by a generous grant from the Ruth S. Willoughby Foundation. Apple, the Apple logo, and iPad are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries. App Store is a service mark of Apple Inc.

Grab some recyclables, paper and paint and have some fun!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I've got a fun art project today that both my kids actually got into! Even my youngest who would rather play with action figures than pick up a paint brush enjoyed it. It all came about because I'm partnering with Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. Their Care To Recycle® program is designed to raise awareness about recyclables in the one area of your home that is most often overlooked: the bathroom. ( Bet you didn't know that.)

Yep, it turns out that only 1 in 5 people say they consistently recycle items they use in the bathroom.* I thought, "Well. What if we collect those items to use in a fun project first? Then we won't forget about recycling them."

And so our printing art project from recyclable materials was born. The boys ( And me, too! I love to join in activities like this.) had fun with this after school earlier this week and I even made a little video. Before you leave, be sure to check out the PETE's Bathroom Bin Challenge contest. ( Details at the end of this post.)
First gather your supplies:

Head to the bathroom to find all those plastic containers. If you use cardboard items like toilet paper rolls or bandaid boxes, they will no longer be recyclable if they are covered in paint. If you don't want to wash up afterwards, then use only the items which are not recyclable. You can find out more about what is commonly accepted for recycling here.

Washable paint. In order for the items to be suitable for recycling after your masterpiece is created, you must wash the containers afterwards. That's what I like about this art project. The materials do not end up in a landfill. You can still recycle them!

Paper. Use a nice, thick paper that can hold paint if you wish to save your creations.

Plate. I used a sturdy plastic plate left over from a picnic, which I washed afterwards! Remember, if you use and dispose, it's just more landfill. Make sure you can reuse or recycle all your materials.

The directions are easy: Have fun dipping, dabbing, swirling, stamping, mixing and designing.

After we washed our recyclables - remember, items should be clean and dry - ( Honestly, the boys liked this just as much as the painting!) we dropped them in our recycle bin. You can find out more about what items are recyclable at Care To Recycle®.

Check out how much fun it was:

This year, Johnson & Johnson's Care To Recycle® partnered with Scholastic to create a national school curriculum and contest to help educate students in grades 1-3 and their families about the importance of recycling bathroom products. You can find information for families and teachers on the Scholastic Care To Recycle® website. There are lesson plans, videos, comic strips and more resource links.
Do we not all love a good contest that encourages kids to get involved? The PETE's Bathroom Bin Challenge contest is an exciting opportunity for students/kids grades 1-3 to win great prizes. To enter, students/kids must:
P.S. Keep an eye our for PETE the Duck, the Care To Recycle® "spokesducky". You'll see him hanging out on the program materials and contest information.
Now we have a snazzy poster to put up in our bathroom to remind us to recycle those oft-forgotten items.

I have been wanting to try stamping with LEGO® bricks ever since I saw the idea on Filth Wizardry. Well, I'm glad we finally tried it because it was a huge hit! I would highly recommend this art activity for kids of all ages. My 4, 6, 9, and 11 year olds all enjoyed it, and I had as much fun as they did. This is a delightful way to spend an afternoon at home, but would also work well for an art class or a LEGO® club!

Stamping with LEGO® bricks is super easy, but I do have a couple of important tips.

We used ink pads that I bought at Hobby Lobby. They were $2.99 each, and although they were not the highest quality option in the store, I was really impressed with them!
Build handles onto your stamps.
We wanted to use several of our plates (flat bricks) for stamping, but those are hard to hold onto without getting ink all over your fingers. Attach a couple of bricks to each one to give kids something to hang onto.
Put felt under your paper.
This tip is really important. We put a piece of felt under our paper to improve the quality of our stamps. If you stamp on paper that is on a hard surface, you'll only get the outline of the brick to print. Putting a sheet of felt under the paper gives it just enough "squish" to make the entire brick come out nice and clear.
Cover your work surface.
I covered our table with paper, which ended up being a really good idea. The kids ended up getting ink on the paper when they set the stamps down between uses.

The ink does wipe up easily off the table, but it was so much easier to just throw the paper away. The paper I used was from a large roll that we bought at IKEA.

Cleaning up was not difficult at all. The water-based ink washed off the LEGO® bricks quite easily. I would recommend not using yellow or white bricks, however. I chose to use some light colors just to see what would happen! These were the only two colors that showed some ink residue after washing.

What can you create with LEGO® stamping? All kinds of things!

The boys had fun creating spaceships, buildings, and random patterns. I made the robot one! And the circular pattern.

One of the boys figured out how make a millennium falcon and some tie fighters. 🙂

I think the next thing we'll do is cover a large piece of paper from our paper roll with LEGO® stamps! It would make fantastic gift wrap!

Have fun with brick art!
