Thank you for the tip! I often go to http://digitalkindergarten.blogspot.ca/ Her entire class has IPads, so she has a lot of posts on educational apps for little people. She also has a post on where to find free apps - a list of sites to visit.

I saw your post and went and found it but to be honest I don’t really know what to do with it.
Do most people flash the name of the painting first and then just the painting or flash the name and painting together?

I let my daughter chose a theme and then we talk about the paintings, she tells me what she sees, we imagine what the painter wanted to express… I always mention the name of the painter.

We use them by artist. I show a written word for the artist name, then say it. My kids repeat the names :slight_smile: Then we show through as many painting as they want to see. This way they can start to recognize an artists particular style. We often have a go at copying a painting ( using paint, chalk, oil pastes, pastels, coloured pencils) or print out a colouring in sheet for the art work we are focussing on. I mention the names of the art work but I actually think thats is less important than who painted it and their style. While we are focussing on reproducing art I discuss the strongest feature in the painting. It might be strong colours, line, texture or shapes, we talk about how it is shown in the picture. Then we try to include that in our own works. Often I paint with them, I find they learn ALOT more this way from watching me do it, and I am certainly no artist! Anyway my kids are older (4,6,8) so this works for us, but I would definately flash them by artist group if they were younger anyway. We can spot a Matisse a mile away :slight_smile:
