Ahh! I love this!! Especially the part where you note that we shouldn't talk down to kids, because you're right, dumbing it down isn't helpful. Speaking in a developmentally appropriate way (using vocab they understand, focusing on concepts/features that they know about or recognize) is important, but I think we sometimes assume kids are less observant than adults when, as you point out, they're often MORE observant and curious. I also love how you provide tips for linking art to history, science, design, ecology. Getting kids to think critically about how the world is interconnected is so important, and art is an incredible gateway for that!
I think a lot of kids learn through interaction/activities in science and even history but I'm guessing that's harder since kids can't always touch art. But I think using real world objects in art really helps them out, or it at least helped me out when I was younger. I went to this museum in Miami that had about 40 feet of garbage on the floor color categorized to resemble the ocean shore it was retrieved from. I saw something similar with a bunch of sandals retrieved from beaches laying across the floor (both by the same artist). I think the amount of real world things (like washed up sandals or water bottles) can really make a kid go "wow! That's a lot of trash!" and help them understand the meaning behind the art they're seeing. I also love how enthusiastic kids are at museums in general, they're so fascinated by dinosaurs and giant contraptions they can maneuver and it is so adorable!
Thank you very much for the great tips! I am starting a new job for me as an art mediator and I am struggling to find the right balance between what can I share with kids and whether it would be useful for them...after watching your video I feel a bit more at ease!
Loved this brief and very helpful video. She was AWESOME!
I really love this! It is so important to start a dialogue with children and these tips are so helpful! :)
Awesome information. Examples are cool.
Very helpful and insightful. And, because of your introduction, all of these principles can be applied to discussing any genre of art with groups of people in any age group. I was just talking with my 16-year-old grandson about a painting I own done by Eleanor Douglas, who, in some ways was the Emily Carr of the U. S., although Douglas has fallen into obscurity over the last few decades, sadly. Eleanor Douglas was my great-great aunt, so she is my grandson's great-great-great-great aunt. Here's my point: I wish I had listened to this video two days ago so that I could be better prepared for our discussion yesterday. Sorry for talking so much! :)
I don't think kids are being taught just how important and special art really is :(
Perhaps that's a good thing. If everyone was doing it, then art wouldn't be special.
Erin Farley maybe so
It's fine if u teach them sculpture for example and talked to them about how mud is fun! Just when they will wash their hands they will see their hands cleaner than before!!
@@frybread002_3 With all due respect Erin, this couldn't be farther from the truth. Even if a child won't grow up to be a professional artist, it is still very valuable for them to be artistically proficient. I did not become a professional artist, and do not show my art to more than a handful of my closest family/friends, but I am grateful that I appreciate art and can use it as an outlet for self-expression.
Yay! Kids always have the funniest things to say too
That end doe :3
This was super valuable to me.
Thank you s much for this tips. Very helpful!
Thanks for this! It should make it easier to approach this stuff with the kids that are increasingly numerous in my social circle. ^_^
thank you for the captions!
You are very welcome! =)
1. This was really useful. I think you hit on a lot of great points. When working with children, I usually ask them a lot of questions and let them drive the conversation more. When working with adults, I feel like they expect you to do most of the talking.
2. What are some good art websites for kids?
3. Can you put your website a little higher on your end slate? The UA-cam player bar blocks it when it isn't in full screen.
+SciJoy 1. Thanks! 2. Good question. I can't think of websites specifically for kids but I use www.wikiart.org a lot for general information on artists and artworks. I think it's useful for adults and kids. And 3. Gah! UA-cam! *shakes fist* Yes I'm going to have to fix that. Thanks for letting me know =)

Great tips!

You made some great points about talking about art with kids . Iam an art teacher with art project tutorials check it out ! I would love your feedback !
The stupid thing most adults do is confuse art with simply drawing pictures
An art gallery docent: how pretentious...similar to this video.
Yes, and by all means, let's use the purity, beauty and creativity of art to indoctrinate (and terrorize) young children into the mainstream divisive narrative of "colonialism", "racism", and "climate change"; what a load of horsecrap! Teaching art should create intelligent, creative, exploratory, and unified, humanitarian critical thinkers, not more divisive blind sheep spouting (and shouting) fear-porn mainstream manipulative propaganda.
