Famous artists. After years of working in a museum,
I’m partial to using some of the greats as inspiration for kids’ art
activities. It was super-easy when I had access to galleries filled with real
works of art. So, if you’re going on a trip to the museum, these projects make
great after-visit activities.
What if you’re not going to a museum or don’t live
near one? Easy. Search or the artist and artwork online or get a book from your
local library. If you don’t have the real deal, swapping in a picture of it
works too.
Before your child begins the art-making, ask her a
few questions about what she sees when she looks at the famous piece. Keep it
open-ended, avoiding anything that has a simple “yes” or “no” answer. Try
questions like these:
·
What do you think is going on in this
picture?
·
What is happening?
·
What do you see?
·
How do you think the artist made this?
·
What materials do you think that the
artist used?
·
Where do you think the artist was when
he painted this?
Now that your child is ready to make her own famous
art, here are a few of my favorites (click on the name of the activity to read
a how-to):
Paul Klee paper and paint collage
Any Warhol Styrofoam tray prints
Jackson Pollock paint splatter
Icy Pollock paint splatter with color mixing
Van Gogh clay paint
Claude Monet cupcakes
