How To Get Kids Excited About Art History

Introducing art history to children can be a fun and enriching experience. Start by exploring the enchanting world of Claude Monet, a pioneering artist known for his impressionist masterpieces that captivate with their light and color. Share the story of how Monet painted the same scenes at various times to capture changing light and moods. Encourage your children to try their hand at painting or drawing, focusing on how colors and shadows change throughout the day. Visit local museums virtually or physically, discussing what stories and emotions each piece evokes. This hands-on engagement can cultivate a lifelong appreciation for art, helping them see history through vibrant and dynamic lenses.

We learned about Claude Monet and impressionist painting today. Penelope really loved looking at all the different paintings, and we talked about how all the pictures we printed out used a lot of blues, greens, and yellows and focused on nature We then tried our hand at painting our own Claude Monet inspired pictures Painting is always a big hit in our house-I even enjoyed painting alongside of them!.
