Finding what works for them is the key.  Art in high school tends to become more academic and not as much fun for some students. In Kids Can Learn about Art and Have Fun Doing It, Part 3, you will find helpful ideas, resources, and curriculum options to make art engaging for the reluctant artist at the high school level.

If  you have not read part one or two of this series, I encourage you to do so before continuing with this post.

Another Reason for Teaching Art

Students who study art throughout high school have higher SAT scores.

The College Board reports students who take art classes throughout high school have higher verbal and math scores on the SAT.  Higher SAT scores opens doors for college acceptance and scholarships.

Interactive Games

Locating interactive art games for high school was a bit more challenging.  The only one I could find was by Artsology.

Trivia Games

Do you have children who love trivia?  If so, have them check out the two below.

Art Trivia and Quizzes

Useful Trivia – Art

Art Contests

Entering an art contest may be a stretch for the hesitant artist.  But it is worth a try.  😊  Below are two options.

CelebratingArt.com

Doodle for Google

Virtual Field Trips

Attending field trips as a high school student does not happen too often.  The students tend to have significant more schoolwork to complete.  So, I looked for virtual field trips like these:

Google Arts and Culture

The Frick Collection

The Sistine Chapel

National Gallery

Louvre

Benaki Museum

Explore Different Types of Art

The key to exploring different types of art is finding what your children like (or remotely like.) Learning about stained glass or pottery might work.  See the Light’s Tiffany Window Art Project contains a paper version of a stained-glass art project.

Blender is a free downloadable software program.  People can create all sorts of fun 3-D projects.

YouTube

There are a lot of YouTube videos made by art teachers and students.  I found a good many of them to be long and boring.  You definitely will not want your children who don’t like art to watch those.  I found the videos about Vincent van Gogh and Georges Seurat to be worth watching.

Apps

The apps I mentioned in part two of this series are also appropriate for high school.  Below are a couple more apps to try.

Adobe Photoshop Sketch — expressive painting and sketching with realistic tools by Adobe

ArtStudio for iPad

Notebooking

The lapbooking method of learning I mentioned in part two of this series may not appeal to high school students since cutting and pasting is involved.  However, notebooking might work.  It’s worth a try since it is different than taking regular type of notes.

Art Projects - A school-year's worth of art lessons. Fulfills high school art credit. See the Light Shine

Use Art Curriculum That Does the Teaching for You

See the Light’s Art Projects is ideal for high school fine arts credit.  Most states require high school students to have a fine arts course lasting one or two semesters.  The disinclined student will see that time as torture.  So, how about making it as enjoyable as possible?

See the Light’s Art Projects curriculum will provide up to a school-years’ worth of art credit. Your children will learn about nine famous artists and complete projects using the artists’ styles of painting.  You may purchase the DVDs separately or as a boxed set. 

Here is a video introducing the Art Projects:
