In our area, one way I began to introduce art was to take advantage of the free first Wednesdays of the month they have at the Art Museum. (They even have one at the History of Natural Museum). It has been nice to go for a little bit at a time as her attention span has increased, we have stayed longer and longer.
After you have exposed your child, allow them to create:
1. Find some great books to read.
2. Invest in Crayola finger paint, Crayola mess free color wonder, or the good old fashioned crayons.
3. Find a study easel (I found mine at Ikea)
4. Of course, a bib to cover up.
Books:
I found this easel at Ikea:
The bibs also from Ikea.
The result, a long creative train of artwork. She walked her art back and forth for a half and hour. Who knew it would turn into that. The nice thing about taking pictures is you can see the growth in strokes and maturity of creative vision.
I will take pictures of all of her art to turn into a book by using snapfish or shutterfly so that paper doesn't clutter the home and she gets to keep her artwork.
