Video art tutorials can make it so much easier (and less stressful!) for families to embrace art at home.
Why?
Because video can be a powerful learning tool for all ages, shortening learning curves, and incorporating multi-media in a way that embraces a variety of learning styles.
Videos can take the pressure off of parents who might feel overwhelmed by the idea of “teaching” art to their kids. Plus, providing children with a bit of guidance (apart from their parents) can encourage independence and help develop problem-solving skills. What’s not to love?

The Power of Art Videos for Kids
As I’m sure you know, video can be an amazing instructional tool – appealing to a range of learning styles and using visual and auditory cues to help kids and families learn new things. Videos work especially well for learning art activities and techniques.
Our videos all demonstrate a fun art activity or technique, from homemade puffy paint that gets even puffier as it dries (so incredibly cool!), to nature suncatchers, marble painting, styrofoam printmaking, drawing with tape, double-doodle drawing, scribble challenge drawing, and so much more! In fact, our video library now includes over 100 step-by-step tutorials for all kinds of fun and open-ended art projects.
Each video makes it easy and fun for kids to try a new art activity or learn a new technique, all while encouraging experimentation and creativity.
Our goal is to make it totally simple and stress-free for you to have a more artful home.
With simple art videos we can walk you and your kids through engaging art activities virtually. Let them get creative while you get dinner ready—OR sit down and enjoy the art activity together with your child!
