Studying the Art Movements allows you to both enjoy and learn about different styles of art, but also learn about history. Many times events in history inspires the art of the time.
Art is made for all ages to enjoy and be inspired by. The study guides I’ve made can be appreciated by all ages. The suggested books and activities can be adjusted to different ages and abilities.
The guides below include images of art from the highlighted movement, a small bit of history, websites and books for further research. I have added a few activities for each movement. Art should be enjoyable, so don’t get too caught up in the rules of the movements. Introduce your child to the different movements and let them express it themselves in the activities.
The books I recommend in each study guide are listed below. As an Amazon Associate, I’d appreciated if you use the links to buy the books you want.
If you chose only one book to buy, I recommend 13 Art Movement Children Should Know by, Brad Finger. It’s the book I used to make the study guides. You’ll notice however that there are only 12 study guides. A mystery for you to explore with the book. Your local library will have many of these books too.
