How to Use These Projects with Kids
- Start with a short introduction to the artist
- Show an example of their style
- Let kids create their own version
- Focus on creativity rather than perfection
Keep it simple—the goal is exposure and exploration, not copying the artwork exactly.
Encourage Creativity: Choose Your Own Artist Style
This is a great opportunity for kids to apply what they’ve learned about different artists and styles.
Instead of following one example, invite students to choose a favorite artist and create their own Easter egg inspired by that style.
Try this simple approach:
- Ask: Which artist do you like best?
- Talk about what makes their style unique (colors, shapes, patterns)
- Challenge kids to design an Easter egg using those same ideas
For example:
- bold lines and primary colors → Mondrian
- swirling brush strokes → Van Gogh
- dots and patterns → Seurat
- abstract shapes → Picasso
This turns a simple art activity into a creative thinking challenge and helps kids make meaningful connections between art and their own work.
Tip: There’s no right or wrong way—focus on creativity, not copying!
