Santa brought an easel for my son, for Christmas. He's been experimenting with oils, acrylics, and watercolors since then. My mother is a wonderful artist, but I am not, and I have no experience with paints at all. So I had to do some research in order to give my son some basic understanding of things like - how to clean his brushes, how to remove paint stains from the floor in case of a spill, what type of paper to use, etc.
Here are some great art sites I found:
Scientology Training and the Arts
Artists for a Better World
Learn to Draw Caricatures
A Standard for the Use of Aesthetics
Celebrating the Role of the Artist in Society
