30 Art Projects for Kids – Exploring the Great Artists

September 4, 2018

We have been running a Kids Get Arty challenge now for well over a year. Every couple of months, we challenge you to look at a real artist with your child, discuss their work and then be inspired by their technique or inspiration to create your Art Projects for Kids. It has been a wonderful journey of art exploration for us. We have found many Art Books for kids to help us along the way and we have enjoyed learning about  Klimt, David Hockney, Andy Goldsworthy, Andy Warhol and many more artists ourselves.. and we have enjoyed reading about your chosen artists and art projects that you have come up with. Such a fantastic set of art ideas! Recently, I shared our favourite 25 Toddler Art Projects from our Kids Get Arty challenge, and now I would like to share well over 30 Art Projects for kids aimed roughly at Kindergarden/ Reception age and up – i.e. 4yrs plus. Though the children may have been 4yrs and up, this does not mean that these projects are restrained to this age group. I think all ages would enjoy these.

Unashamedly, I bring you our projects first, followed by some of my favourite great artists projects from fellow bloggers!

    I’m so happy to have found this blog on Pinterest! I recently started Art History Mom, a place where parents and kids—or teachers and students—view and discuss great works of art. I focus more on art history lesson for kids, although there are related art projects too. I might just write the lessons and link to some of these projects, when appropriate. What a great resource – thank you!

    These are great! However, you really must include more female artists. Women do make up half of the world, after all. It’s even more important when working with kids.
