Artist Inspired Art Projects for Kids

art docent ideas

Art history is alive and well we just need to share it with your children, pick an artist, make a project and have fun with art history! Other than my family one of my great loves is art history and from birth I have shared art with my kids through books, museum visits and projects like these. Each project is listed under the artist who inspired it , click through the artists name to see the original tutorial and great books to go along with these projects. These are great art docent projects for kindergarten and first grade too.

Katsushika Hokusai

Jasper Johns

Wassily Kandinsky

    Great projects! Art history was one of my favorite classes in college. Can’t wait to try some of these ideas with my preschooler 🙂

    Thank you so much for posting these ideas. I recently discovered some great boards books about great artists by Julie Appel and Amy Guglielmo that have inspired us to do our own creations and learn about famous artists at the same time. Here’s my post about it http://theeducatorsspinonit.blogspot.com/2011/09/afterschool-express-our-starry-night.html . I love you ideas!

    Thanks for this round up! I want to do more artist-inspired projects this year since my daughter is 5 now and retains more of this information. That was a great post to pin 🙂
