I stumbled upon the following article online just now.  Thought some of you might find it a good idea, as well:  Have Fun With Your Children – Take Them To The Art Gallery!

Excerpt:

“Talk about the art you’re looking at. You don’t have to be an expert. Tell your child what you like or don’t like about a couple of pieces. Perhaps mention the subject, colours, how the artist has created the work, even the framing is fair game. Show your children that sometimes you have to stand right back to see the pictures properly.

“At the end, comment on which you liked best and ask them for their favourites as well. Don’t forget to ask why they like what they do and always remember that their opinions are just as valid as yours.”
