Shaping Ideas
Downloadable PDF lesson ideas at different age levels based on different themes. Excellent resource.
Access Art
This website has excellent online workshops with printable accompanying worksheets on a number of topics. I really liked the drawing and colour workshops. The drawings are all obviously done by kids and and not always 'perfect' but are great models. The site said it is 'made by teenagers for teenagers' but the workshops I did were aimed at a younger age so there is something for everyone.

Art Appreciation
