Art History Critical Thinking Prompts for Early Childhood (Teacher's Guide)
Use these prompts to spark conversation and increase engagement during object-based inquiry sessions based on artworks of your choice! This Teacher’s Guide contains pointers for how to select engaging artworks to share with young children, and critical thinking prompts to get them talking. This could be a warm-up activity before a studio art session, perhaps where children recreate what they are seeing in the artwork. These prompts support deeper thinking about the purpose of a given artwork, or of art in general. I like to keep print-outs of these prompts handy during class discussions, to help keep me on track during the lesson.
In this .pptx Teacher’s Guide, you will find prompts for talking about artworks that deal with the following topics:
Plant life
Animals
The human figure at rest
The human figure in motion
Transportation
I hope you enjoy looking at art with your students.
