Talking to kids about art

Free book excerpts from Kids Painting© Book:

When kids share their art with you, it’s important you remember they are young and just starting out painting, drawing or making crafts.

Many hours of practice needs to take place for artworks to look recognizable to parents.

Talking to children About Art

I recommend you listen first without asking questions about what their artworks are.

Listening first helps kids feel confident.

If you first listen then kids can talk about what’s on their mind and try to describe their creations.

 A parent or teacher who  listens first is very supportive and won’t make a child feel judged on their artistic skills.

How to talk to kids about art, parents , advice

A common mistakes teachers and parents make is asking children too many questions about what they created.

Another common mistake parents and teachers try to analyze their art like an art critic.

How to talk to kids about art, parenting and families

Most artworks made by young kids, remember, are experimental, and led by curious ideas or just simple play.

You won’t stump your child’s creativity or artistic skills by not asking artful smart questions.

Kids Art Talk, how to, best way

Supportive nurturing talks can sound like this, “I like your work, do you want to share with me what you created?”

After the child has explained all they can about their work, ask if they want to save, showcase, or maybe give it away to someone special.
