Friday's art themed website: MAKE BEADED JEWELRY

For anyone that has ever wanted to make your own jewelry, beaded jewelry is a great way to get started. The website All About Beading is a great resource to start leaning how to make your own jewelry. There are multiple projects that detail the materials and tools needed to make your own bracelets, earrings, and necklaces. It even gives step by step instructions, most with pictures or diagrams. A suggestion here as well: do you have a beading supply store close to you? Many of these stores will also provide help when you purchase your jewelry making supplies from them.

Friday's art themed website: CRAYOLA

With school nearing an end for many children, what to do this summer may seem like a tough question. The Crayola website has links to projects, templates, and products to satisfy the art needs of children throughout the summer.

Monday's agriculture website of interest: AGRICULTURE IN THE CLASSROOM

*For those new to the Cow Art and More blog, every Monday, gallery owner, veterinarian and jewelry artist Kathy Swift shares a website or agricultural article of interest.*

Today's agricultural site to share is from the United States Department of Agriculture's, "Agriculture in the Classroom" program. The particular part of the site I find interesting is "Ag in the classroom lesson plans". For those looking for ways to communicate about agriculture to school aged children, it is a great resource of ideas on how to present a variety of topics to them. It lists hundreds of educational resources designed to help educators locate high quality classroom materials and information to increase agricultural literacy among their Pre-K through 12th grade students.
