Learn About Sculpture at Arts Workshop
 " Until now, when I thought of sculpture, I thought of busts of famous people. At Arts Workshop,
we learned that throughout history people have used sculpture not only
for art, but for utilitarian reasons. Many people created sculptures
that they used to comb hair, hold water to drink, help celebrate a holiday, carry things, or tell a story. Some sculptures are even used to make music." |
Google Has Help For Educators!
 "Google not only
offers a myriad of tools for the average person, but also provides
additional resources for educators (and students) that make learning
and researching easier. You can find many of these tools at Google for Educators, while others can be found under More Google Products. These tools are free to use and many will make excellent supplements for homeschool use."
