Arts Education--adding electives to your homeschool

Joy2Learn has an easy arts education to add to your kids school day. Study the great tap dancers, jazz with Wynton Marsalis, and classical piano. Take a little time to study the theatre, sculpture with Richard Serra, and painting with Elizabeth Murray all thru e-presentations {short video type presentations}.
If you're like me, you rely on local co-ops for your music, art, and PE. BUT, adding some picture or music studies always sounds like a good idea :) This site seems to make adding the arts as an elective for your homeschool easy. If I can stand my pretend dancers "tapping" for a month, we'll study the great tap dancers and make a little lapbook about them. Maybe we can move on to another subject after that--just a short time on the computer for them is a special treat and they are learning! If we ever accomplish a lapbook--I'll try to compile the list of resources to share.
