CAREABOUTKIDS

PARENTS: Your state arts agency or local council can provide information about art exhibitions, where they are, and what there is to see. Ask about programs designed for children and about parent and child events. If you are visiting a large museum, stay in two or three galleries, depending on the child's age and abilities. A number of short visits are better than a long one that is overwhelming. Don't tire children by overdoing it. (pg.6 pa.5)MY WORD: Art teaches children to think outside of the box. That an idea can be presented in many ways.
