I always promised myself that taking my kids to museums, galleries and art exhibitions would be nothing but fun. After all, with their dad being an artist they would invariably be spending a little bit of time looking at art. Spending the day at the museum is something we all like to do with our kids. It’s something we appreciate having our children experience through school and other organizations. But how to make it something your child looks forward to, gets excited about and remembers fondly is a bit more complicated. The most important thing is to make it casual and make it fun.
The summer is one of the best times of year to fully enjoy the creative process. Not just because of the more relaxed atmosphere but also because you can have an instant art studio right in your own backyard. Kids are now free to work outside without the concern of spills and the mess which sometimes come with creating art on the dining room table.
