I would show them Picasso and Van Gogh because their creations are so objective. The children can interpret the paintings in their own way and be inspired by it.

I would have children explore the works of Van Gogh, Monet, Georgia o'keefe, Gaugin, due to their expressive abilities.

Pollack is great for younger children but also Dr Seuss and Eric carl. These all are great artist. These artist would be great because they are geared towards children so much already that they are simply wonderful indifferent ways and showing them the different expressive ways and techniques they use would be beneficial.

Pollock, Van Gogh, Seurat for explain to children, that they have a lot of ways to introduce their ideas to world and not be affraid if their paint not looks like real.

Julie Sliger

I would show familiar artists, like Eric Carle, but also try to show a large variety of artists to explore how different art can be.

Shirley

I would have the children do splatter art because kids like to get messy and tell them about Pollock. I like Worhol and I would show them pop art and they could express themselves.

I think all artist have something teachable, it is really depending on the age of the children and also what kind of experience they have. As I teach preschoolers I prefer Dr. Seuss, Erik Carle and Polluck. The kids can relate to this artists as they are so familiar with their art from books they are "reading". I like the splatter art from Polluck

Lisa

8/29/2018 01:12:58 pm

Eric Carle and Polluck are great for my age group

Darla Wright

8/29/2018 04:51:20 pm

I would choose Jackson Pollock for his splatter painting; Salvador Dali for his emotion in Face of War 1940; Carol O’Connor for her water color; Victor Vasarely for his Op Art because it influenced architecture, computer aided design, animation and fashion

Liz

8/30/2018 01:07:15 pm

Warhol because he took ordinary things like a can of Campbell Soup and turned it into art. Pollock because what seems like such a simple idea (splattering paint) creates such complex art. Georgia O’keefe for being such and expressive artist.

Amy Berry

9/1/2018 06:03:45 pm

Van Gogh and Monet because their are so many different possibilities or what they could create

Afzal Baig

9/6/2018 10:18:17 pm

Dr.Sue and Eric books are wonderfull.We also use Van Gogh and Monet art creativity in our classroom.

Radhika Ravula

9/11/2018 06:16:18 pm

Van Gogh and Dr. Sue are perfect for kids because they show two very different styles of art

Fatma Madani

9/12/2018 10:03:35 pm

I would like to teach the students about an artist named McFlyy, he is a very interesting inspiring artist because he incorporates old artistic styles with new technology, using things like Photoshop to prefect his art.

Stephanie Castleberry

9/16/2018 07:24:52 pm

I'm a big fan of Dr.Suess and all he brings. also Van Gogh as an expressive painter.

tracy forslin link

9/17/2018 08:36:56 pm

Jackson Pullack, Henri Matisse, Gustav Klimt, Claude Monet, Georgia O'Keefe

Bong Ee Goo

9/19/2018 03:05:07 pm

I would teach them about Davinci.

Callee Lasley

9/27/2018 07:41:57 am

I would introduce my students to Eric Carle, Dr. Suess, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock and Vincent Van Gogh. All of these artists have their own unique way to express the same thought or idea, ranging from inside the lines to splatters of paint. They would be helpful to the children to explore their favored kind of expression.

julie

9/30/2018 06:01:29 pm

Eric Carle, because his work the children see almost everyday-makes it so personal, Georgia O'Keefe, and her perspective on nature. Monet because her pursued his work regardless of others opinions.

Cloey Garrison

10/3/2018 11:03:41 am

If I had to choose just one artist to expose my kiddos to, I would choose Dr. Suess simply because children relate so much to his stories already. Getting deeper into his art creations and work would take it to a whole other level.

Chelsae Roberson

10/3/2018 12:42:30 pm

I'd like to teach Keith Haring. His art is very basic and simple to recreate whilst still learning skills and technique. I allows children to express more of a meaning behind the art versus their ability to draw.

Shelley

10/16/2018 07:57:58 am

I would use Sel Silverstein, Eric Carlile and Dr. Sues for my classroom. My students love them all.

shelley

10/16/2018 08:12:31 am

The authors I would choose for my students would be Eric Carlile, Dr. Seuss and Shell Silverstein. My students love them!

Cassy Cardenas

10/19/2018 11:27:36 am

Dr. Seuss, because of his imagination.

Agnes

11/3/2018 06:34:26 pm

I havent tought about this, but good idea.

Lira

10/22/2018 01:21:05 pm

I would like to bring in my classroom Picasso,because his pictures are different than others artists.Children can use many methods to make a picture and become a Picasso.

Priyalakshmi Jayapal

10/31/2018 05:09:17 pm

Dr Seuss because children relate to his stories and they seem simple

- Dr.Suess for his incredible way of showing off his talent in books.
- Romare Bearden, a favorite of mine, he once said: " Practically all great artist accept the influence of others. But... the artist with vision sees his material, chooses, changes, and by integrating with what he has learned with his own experiences, finally molds something distinctly personnel." Which is something that should be taught to children. It is okay to create art like someone else but we also teach then how they can create their own unique art!

Agnes

11/3/2018 06:33:35 pm

Honestly, I don't show artist yet, because they are too young for that and I don't have a favorite artist, but of course one day will try and the most popular people, for example: Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo
They all can be a great influence for anybody.

Lindsey

11/4/2018 05:36:42 pm

Some of the artist I would like to show to my children would be Dr. Sues , Von Gogh, and Picasso. The reason I chose those three artist is because the have inspired a lot of people around the world and I think that my kids would be into their artwork. Especially Dr. Sues.

merle

11/5/2018 02:11:32 pm

Monet for muted colors and techniques
Van Gogh for expression of feelings
Rembrandt because of the intricate fine detail

Angelique yoder

11/11/2018 08:17:45 am

Pollack is great for younger children but also Dr Seuss and Eric carl. These all are great artist. These artist would be great because they are geared towards children

Lyudmyla Spektor

11/12/2018 12:14:07 pm

I would like to present to work off a very famous artist from Russia, Ivan Aivazovsky. He Creates beautiful landscapes of water. This can be very expiring for children because they can be exposed to different shades of colors and develop love towards nature.

Sarah

11/15/2018 08:15:19 pm

I would like to introduce the kids to some of the age appropriate art of Picasso and Freida Khalo, Georgia O'Keefe, Eric Carle, Rodin. A variety of artists to show the kids different styles of art.

Courtney

11/20/2018 02:03:16 pm

The artists that I would choose would be Claude Monet-Water Lilies. I like how it's simple and the kids like doing crafts out of paint. They can even make their own water lilies by using finger paint, cupcake liners (green, pink, white). and paper plate. Picasso because he was very creative and even though he didn't always like what he made he learned something from it each time and helped him find creative ideas. Also it shows children that your work won't always come out the way you want but it still perfect because they did what they thought was creative for them.

Rémy Coutarel link

11/23/2018 04:22:21 pm

The artists I will chose are : Magritte to explore interpretation.
Don Rosa, Hergé, Art Spiegelman for leaning about simplification , cartooning and story telling as well as history. And many many more for many more reasons...

Payton Holmgren

11/26/2018 09:47:32 pm

I would introduce my children to Dr. Seuss. The creativity and imagination shown in his art work is something children can relate to and understand, inspiring them to create their of master piece.

Ray Anderson link

11/28/2018 04:47:04 pm

I actually do not know of many artists but I enjoy ansel adam pieces and Kindcaid- black and white to artistry with light, I enjoy the opposites.

Hanya Schwiesow

11/28/2018 08:04:48 pm

I would teach about Picasso and Van Gogh because they made abstract and creative art which allows the children to see their own interpretation of the art.

sally marchaland link

12/1/2018 03:23:34 pm

I'm illiterate when it comes to artist. The preschool books currently have so many new artist that students can relate to. I continually introduce new books every two weeks that my young students can look through and relate to. Relating to a piece is just as important as creating.

cynthia castleberry

12/2/2018 07:04:11 pm

I would teach them about Michelangelo because he was one of the greatest artist of all time, he was a sculptor and a painter. I would also teach the about Van Gogh because he had his own style.

stephanie

12/4/2018 02:28:47 pm

not a big artist fan so i would want to explore more

Jennifer Valliere-Douglass

12/5/2018 08:53:12 am

Georgia O'Keefe, Frida Kahlo, Shirin Neshat, Yayoi Kusamen, Henri Matise, Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso. It is important to choose artists that are male and female as well as artists from different countries and times in order to give children an appreciation for all different kinds of art.

12/5/2018 08:50:26 pm

Seurat, Munch, Monet and Gogh.

shantha Pathak link

12/5/2018 09:51:53 pm

I would like to expose the children to Picasso and Kandinsky. It is easy for children to do open ended abstract art. They can be inspired.to create masterpieces by exploring and experimenting with various art materials and by viewing other artist artwork.

Kiersten Bonnes

12/8/2018 01:34:52 pm

I think that showing kids abstract artists like Picasso and Pollock would be a great way to show that there is no right or wrong way to express yourself.

Ashley Harmon

12/9/2018 11:23:49 am

I would definitely teach my kids about Vincent van Gough and how droopy his paintings are and you can express emotion into a lot of your masterpieces. Picasso and dr. suess are both on that list picasso does a great job at elaborating on real life crisis into a not so real life master piece. Dr. seuss does a great job with the fictions of his characters and rhyming his stories.

DENISE BALTZER

12/11/2018 12:39:44 pm

Eric Carl, Frida Khalo, Claude Monet

I've down a giant murial with the children where we sponge painted water and lillies then made three dimensional water lillies out of tissue paper and paper plate.

Heather Clark

12/11/2018 08:06:16 pm

Van Gogh mostly because he's my favorite but also because his work was colorful. Eric Carl because of his brilliant innocence.

Amanda

12/11/2018 09:32:53 pm

I have always had a soft spot for monet, really all the impressionist artists and i think lessons are always more inspiring when you love the topic you are teaching. But I would also enjoy contrasting that with some very modern artists and some that they might know and see in children's books, like Eric Carl or looking at Lucy Cousins books.

kasturi sur

12/12/2018 07:59:19 pm

I would choose Picasso, Van Gogh Pollak ,Seurat. They are all inspiring to the kids.

Linda Lafky

12/14/2018 08:40:35 am

Matisse is a wonderful artist to share with children because of the variety of styles he used. His paper cuts, with bold lines and colors are accessible to children, since they can use scissors and paper to create their own work in a similar fashion.

Picasso is another obvious choice because of his cubist period. Children can relate to the images that are taken apart, and put back together in an unusual way.

Georgia O'Keefe is also wonderful for children to experience, with her beautiful use of color and natural objects.

Barry Kronmal

12/20/2018 11:45:38 am

I would introduce the children to Van Gough, Picasso and Rembrandt. We would talk about their origins, style and geography. Then allow them to create something that reflects their origins.

Tamara Tikhonova

12/20/2018 10:59:22 pm

Kids learn through experience, and since I work mostly with toddlers and preschoolers, I talk with them about artists whose style we can (kind of :) )recreate during daily activities or classes:
1. Kandinsky. Great conversation about the color concept
2. Mondrian. Geometry and shapes
3. Seurat. Painting with q-tips, color concept

Maivnkauj Goertzen

12/20/2018 11:27:06 pm

Mondrain-shapes
Picasso
Van Gogh
Becuase they are all amazing artist. So unique and different

Kylie Engle

12/23/2018 02:56:02 pm

I would like to show them michelangelo. His ceiling painting might inspire them to try to paint in a new way....like while lying on the floor under their table.
Also Picasso to show a different way of expression, and Eric Carle-his work is usually mimicable and a good starting point

Keiko

12/26/2018 03:28:39 pm

I would show them Picasso and Van Gogh because their creations are so objective. The children can interpret the paintings in their own way and be inspired by it.

Chloe

12/28/2018 08:23:07 pm

I would show them Dr Seuss,, Eric carle, and van Gough to show them a range of style and color

Vicki Ladwig

12/29/2018 01:55:25 pm

Dr. Suess and Eric Carle, artists they are familiar with. Pollock for splatter, cause now that's fun!

Marie

12/29/2018 10:13:56 pm

I would show a large variety of artists for the kids to explore. Dr. Seuss, Erik Carle and Polluck are just a few. The kids can relate to artists as they are familiar with their art from books they are read.

Aparna

I love to introduce my class to Dr. Seuss. the books are super imaginative and fun for the classroom!

Marissa Jones

1/7/2019 05:10:43 pm

Dr. Seuss, Van Goh, Polluck, Warholl the differences are incredible and inspiring.

Alisa

1/21/2019 07:54:14 am

Monet because his art is beautiful without being exact

Cindy

1/23/2019 07:31:54 pm

With the age of children that I watch I would have to say Dr. Seuss as I think they relate to him with his silly and catchy rhymes plus all of his colorful art in all of his books.

Michelle Neuville

1/26/2019 07:40:06 pm

Monet, van goh, and Picasso because the kids can learn about different artists and be inspired to be creative.

Sreyroth Chi

1/28/2019 05:59:17 pm

Doctor Suess because he has books that get the kids entertained and it doesn't bore them.

Ladan

1/28/2019 09:08:19 pm

monet, really all the impressionist artists and i think lessons are always more inspiring when you love the topic you are teaching. some from children's books, like Eric Carl or looking at Lucy Cousins books also Van goh

Kelsey

Jacob Lawrence, He painted the Harlem renaissance and the great migration

Shelby Brown

3/5/2019 01:55:38 pm

Jackson Pollock, Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian are artists that are great introductions to kids. The focus of these artists is color and form, not necessary creating something representational. I think many children worry about art being 'right' or being representational. The artists above take that pressure off because almost anything goes!

Future B Patterson

3/17/2019 03:06:14 pm

pollack becuse its a prime example of scatter art

Fardowza Shire

3/20/2019 11:35:16 pm

I would like to introduce the children Van Gogh because I actually seen a movie that used a lot of his painting styles.

Khavitha Naraendirakumar

4/26/2019 08:24:25 pm

Pollock, Van Gogh, Seurat for explain to children, that they have a lot of ways to introduce their ideas to world and not be affraid if their paint not looks like real.

Angela Kinney

5/2/2019 06:46:41 pm

I don't know many artists by name but I do like traditional art styles and comic styles the most and I tend to lean in that direction myself. I do try to expose the kids to other art styles as well but I focus more on the ones I like.

Katie Lembra

5/9/2019 03:22:42 pm

In my preschool class I would like to teach my students about Eric Carl and Jason Lefebvre. These artists can be easily incorporated into an early childhood setting, and have fun books to showcase their art.

Laura Marler

5/13/2019 07:03:21 pm

I would love to show them Michaelangelo because they would love the idea of laying on their backs to paint a ceiling the way he did, as well as Van Gogh because they would enjoy his scenes like starry night and sunflowers.

Patrisha Lussier

5/14/2019 09:10:57 am

These books are some we have in our library:

What Should Danny Do? - teaching children how choices change the way their day will go.

What Were You Thinking? - Another book on controlling impulses

That Rule Doesn't Apply to Me! - How rules apply to everyone and why

Basically, what we are working on now.

Children understand easily when you break "it" down to their level. Having children books show what will happen if this or that, how others feel, etc., makes more of an impact then just telling them.

with children

Melanie

5/16/2019 03:46:28 pm

I would love to teach my students about the art of Eric Carle. I see it's a popular choice on here but for good reason. His books have such great stories and the artwork is amazing, I think the students can really relate to this style and also to the books that go with it. Plus, there are so many to choose from with his books.

Nadezhda Kubay

5/25/2019 08:35:24 pm

I would show them art from Van Gogh and Picasso because they had unique ways of painting and that would inspire them to think creatively and experiment with different methods of creating art.

Viola

8/25/2019 06:04:28 pm

I would chose Dr. Seuss because he has such rhythm in his words and art,.Jackson i love spatter painting and so do the children.

Patrisha

12/14/2019 01:57:07 pm

I love Aelita Andre and so does my preschoolers. They are able to relate to her because of her age, but they see that beauty too. They talk about what they see in the art and what she was thinking about it. Her art is from her imagination, and is striking, moving. I also like and the boys are like Kieron Williamson. I forget his age but he is very good and the children can relate to the art more as pictures- done well of course. I am blown away with these children! Seeing what they see and interpret is amazing.
