How fun! We don’t really have that opportunity here, as Las Vegas is sorely lacking in museums. We do what Jen mentioned above–look at art books.

Oh, my girls love to look at art and talk about it. This suprised me at first, but one day I caught them looking at famous paintings in a book and discussing what they liked about them. We have a few great art books at Usborne ( I sell them part-time). A new one that I just purchased is First Book of Art. It shares a lot of famous works of art and then has a kid friendly project that relates to the art work. My girls also love The Children’s Book of Art (an intro to famous paintings). I know how much you love books, so I wanted to share.

Take Care!

Great points- I was at the mercy of only one kid which made decisions much simpler.

I have a few other projects including Matisse and Seurat here : http://www.notimeforflashcards.com/category/fine-art
and I hope to do many more!

We recently took our 3 children to the art museum in Philadelphia. Overall, we had a nice time. However, their age range made it a little difficult. My nine year old loved it and wanted to read all of the descriptions. My six year old enjoyed it, but was definitely on her own time schedule. At the exhibits she liked, she wanted to stay a long time. However, at other exhibits, she got very impatient. Pretty typical for her age. My three year old, did well for about an hour. After that he got a little whiney. He also had a hard time understanding that he could not touch everything because the only other museum he had been to was the Please Touch Museum (children’s museum in Philly). Therefore, I totally agree with you that you have to go with an open mind, not have too many expectations, and follow your child’s lead.

Thanks for your post. I love the project. I will definitely have to try this with the art play group I am starting. Do you intend to do other projects based on famous artists?

Another great resource is your local library. We have free museum passes for our patrons. They “check out” just like a book. I love being able to tell people about all the free things libraries offer!
