Painting like Michelangelo for kids

Dear all of us,
I love introducing children to the fine arts, it truly brings me joy.

One of the most fun ways to introduce a child to fine art is to introduce him or her to Michelangelo. Michelangelo painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel while laying on his back. I tell the children this and they are always fascinated.

Then I tell them that it is their turn to paint on their backs like this:

It is always a big hit in the classroom!

The artists for kids

Dear all of us,
Are you a preschool teacher or parent? One of the best things that you can do for your kids is to teach them about artists, all kinds of artists.
Painters, musicians, photographers and so on. Even the youngest child can learn something about artists.
Look at this great lesson about Jackson Pollack.
