etc etc etc. In addition to these there are step by step animated guides on making things such as collages, mosaics, weaving etc. There are some activities about sculptures and drawing pictures of animated beings, so be sure that the learners know the Islamic ruling about it. There are also virtual workshops complete with videos and time-lapses on processes such as textile printing, painting on textiles, ceramics etc. In teachers section you will find many lesson plans and some great ideas on integrating art and these activities in other subjects and literacy. Children can also read about different art forms and artists, though reading about artists may not be much beneficial. Over all an overwhelming amount of resources to explore and learn from.
