We love homeschool art!
Today, I am sharing two of our family’s absolute favorite online art resources for adding more art- and art appreciation- to your homeschool routine.
These Online Art Resources will Spark Creativity in Your Homeschool
*Disclosure: I received access to Masterpiece Society Studio and the You Are An Artist Clubhouse at no cost in exchange for a social media share. I was not required to write a blog post, nor was I compensated. I am sharing these resources because my family has found them to be incredibly valuable and I believe other homeschool families will enjoy them. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Art appreciation is a huge part of the Brave Writer Lifestyle and our homeschool routine. (If you are looking to get started with art appreciation in your homeschool, be sure to check out Brave Writer’s free art appreciation guide.)
Homeschool art is one of our favorite subjects
Here are some articles explaining how we incorporate art into our homeschool routine:

Online art resources keep little artists happily engaged and learning
Does art overwhelm you? Do you hate it, but you want your children to feel otherwise? Outsource! Find a course online and let someone else do the work for you!
Today, I’d like to share two of our family’s favorite online art resources. If you’ve followed our site for any length of time, you’ve heard me gush about both of these resources before… and with good reason!
Our family adores the following two online art communities:

That means we share our homeschool day in our Instagram stories!
Art History Kids
Art History Kids is a fantastic homeschool resource for parents who would like to explore art history projects but don’t know where to begin. Art History Kids provides easy art history project ideas and fun ways to explore art with your children, even if you have zero artistic ability or background!
The Studio at Art History Kids is a membership site with oodles of easy to use, engaging, and educational art history resources at your fingertips!
Masterpiece Society Studio
I’m not at all surprised, but my kiddos are *loving* this membership site.
My oldest was sick as a dog on Valentine’s Day. Everyone was grouchy (self-included) and feeling a little crummy that our day didn’t go as planned.
Thankfully, we had access to amazing art lessons and they saved the day.
More recently, we spent an afternoon learning about Georgia O’Keeffe and my children made some incredible poppy flowers!

The Clubhouse annual membership includes:
- Instant access to oodles of video art tutorials
