Produced by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, this vibrant interactive lesson introduces kids (or adults) to the artwork of Frida Kahlo, Jackson Pollack, Sargent Johnson.  The "country gentlemen" (a pair of dogs) briefly explain the artpiece, and then invite the user to make their own art, with an interactive tool that lets them play make their own, similar artwork.  It kept my kids happily occupied for about 40 minutes.
