Mulberry Tree in Fall - Vincent Van Gogh

This is a wonderful web site I found with one of my daughters when searching for some information she needed for an art history class!  It's about more than Van Gogh - although, there is plenty of information on him at this web site, too.  Today's post is about complimentary colors and how they work with the physiology of the eye to create richer color perception and movement in paintings!  This particular subject is probably for Jr.-Sr. high level kids - - but there is plenty for all ages!

America's Christian Heritage by The Southern Avenger

Jan Brett, author and illustrator of On Noah's Ark, The Mitten, and the Hedgie the Hedgehog books such as Hedgie's Surprise, has some new color flashcards up for your preschoolers!  I love the printables on her web site, but they are very ink intensive!  You can laminate the cards with some clear Contact Paper to make them last a lot longer, though.  In fact, I just gave away some flash cards I made around eight years ago when our oldest was in Kindergarten!  :)
