Learning about great artists and their works is an excellent start to getting children into art education. These three tips by The Tutoring Center, Powder Springs, present a dynamic way to promote art appreciation in your child.

Google is Your Friend

Research online, in the library, or by purchasing books. Before engaging in play, get children to read one or two books about art. You can also use the internet to learn a few art facts a week. Also, find books in a library or bookstore about the art movement you want to study with your child. Some books are more age-appropriate than others.

Scanning the Art

Art appreciation is about more than just looking at the works. Your children must understand what they are gazing at to appreciate art, but the first step is to become familiar with art and artists. Here are some activities you can do with art books with your children of any age. It's recommended that you get books on art history or specific periods of art that interest your children.

Visit Museums

Have the children study a painting for a few minutes, encourage them to remember everything they see. Then remove the image and ask them about the details. This will help them appreciate what they see rather than develop a general impression.
