My 11-year-old son has been learning Ruby on Codecademy. Is there an easy way to learn how to programming with graphics on Ruby?

If by graphics, you mean graphical user interfaces, then shoes is a pretty easy way to get started. If by graphics, you mean drawing shapes and designing your own games, Gosu might be a good fit. Here is a book for learning programming by creating games with Ruby and Gosu.
