6 Fun Art Books for Young Children

7/31/2016

0 Comments

 
Here at Museo Art Academy, we love teaching kids how to think like artists. This means allowing creativity to take over, but also knowing the basics of art history, too. One fun way you can encourage your child's artistic tendencies at home is by reading art-related books with them. We compiled a few of our favorite art books for kids. Some tell stories of young artists, and others teach about famous artists in history. We hope you enjoy!

Denise Brennan-Nelson &Rosemarie Brennan, and illustrated by Cyd Moore

Funny Machines for George the Sheep
by Geraldine Elschner

Beautiful OOPS!
by Barney Saltzberg

This fun book teaches kids that it's okay to make mistakes; in fact, some of the best art comes from fixing a mistake. The first page shows a huge tear on the front, and a painted alligator with an open (ripped) mouth on the back.
