Listed below are some way you can further explore art online...
Google Art Project
This is a new endeavor by Google whereby you can tour some of the world's most incredible museums and paintings without ever having to leave home!
For this project, Google filmed 17 museums in the US and Europe using their "street view" technology. In addition, each museum selected one work of art, usually a canonical work — like the Van Gogh's “A Starry Night” — for "star" treatment. These works were painstakingly photographed for super-high, mega-pixel resolution. Check it out!
You can check out "Vincent's Bedroom" to see each square inch of his bedroom in Arles, France, or you can head over to the MOMA in NYC to see Van Gogh's "A Starry Night".

Picasso Head
If you are interested in working with Cubism, try your hand at Picasso Head. This is a fun way to create abstract portraits using shapes from Picasso's paintings. You can create your own masterpiece, then share it online with friends!
SmART Kids
This website was developed by the Smart Museum of Art, University of Chicago, to help students look at, think about, and respond to artwork. 
SmART Kids has many great activities that will help you explore art in a new way by applying your
art vocabulary, learning about the creative process of a working artist, and discovering that one artwork can have many different interpretations.
The Color Game
This is a fun game where students can practice their color mixing skills by rotating a color catcher around a circle in an attempt to match the color with the one provided. It explores tints, shades, as well as complementary, analogous, and triadic color schemes.
