How can I help my child in Art at home?!
So many parents ask me how they can help their child in Art at home. The number one answer I guve is to encourage more creativity in the home. Art has no right or wrong answer. Always ask, "What is this you've drawn?!" instead of trying to guess (almost always incorrectly) what it is. Accept your child's point of view pertaining to art and encourage him or her to explain what it is he or she has created, and even write a story/poem or artist statement about it.
Below is an article from scholastic about how to interest your child in art at home:
...here are some suggestions for fostering your child's creativity and love of art, and for supporting art education at school. These come courtesy of the National PTA and the Getty Center for Education in the Arts, as part of their joint "Be Smart, Include Art" project.
Talk about art. One of the best ways to get your child excited about art is to be enthusiastic yourself. Talk about the history of a special work of art in your own home — a quilt, a piece of pottery, or a painting.
Take a walk in your community, looking and talking about the buildings you and your child see. Talk about their differences — types of roofs, number and placement of doors and windows, construction materials and decoration. How does the way a building looks (its form) help what it's used for (its function)?
Finally, encourage your child to talk about art. What does he like or not like and why?
Provide materials. Encourage your child's interest in art by providing materials and a place to create art. Crayons, modeling clay, scraps of yarn and fabric, different kinds of paper and found objects such as shells, twigs, buttons can be used to help your children make their own art. Provide a special place to work, such as an old table, and a drawer or shelf to store the materials. Making art can be messy, but it is important to encourage a child's creativity. Provide bibs and aprons for your children and papers and cloths to cover surfaces and floors.
Encourage creativity. Help your child come up with original ideas and build upon them. You might do this by reading only the beginning of a story, then asking your child to draw a picture showing how the story might end. Or make a squiggle on a piece of paper and ask your child to use it as the beginning of a drawing.
When your child creates a work of art, accept the child's work and his or her viewpoint of it so that you encourage the child to explore art further. Be positive and give praise sincerely. For example, point out a detail that is creative. You can always comment on something in the work, such as its design or its originality. Ask the child questions about the artwork.
Stimulate interest. See if your community has a local art museum or cultural center and whether classes or programs for youth and families are available. Watch for special events such as art fairs. First arouse your child's interest by talking about what you will see or do. A visit to a museum featuring ancient Egyptian art objects might sound boring to children. So tell them that they're going to see mummies, old jewelry, and good luck charms created to ward off evil spirits. While touring the museum talk about the shapes and colors that make the objects interesting and attractive.
You can also make art interesting by relating it to something that your child already enjoys. A child who is fascinated by the sea might find the paintings of Winslow Homer exciting. A pre-teen who loves science fiction may enjoy seeing paintings by Salvador Dali or M.C. Escher. Encourage pride in your cultural heritage by helping children find art and artists representing your culture — for example, Harlem Renaissance art, Navaho weaving, origami, etc. Ask your librarian for help. Go through the books with your child. Then visit an art museum.
Support art education in the community. There are ways that you can become involved in making and keeping art education a vital part of your school and community. Become an advocate for improving your school's art program.
Work together with other parents, members of art organizations, and other community members to stress the importance of art education in the home, community, and school. Consider meeting with your school's principal to see what the PSG and other art support groups can do to support an effective art curriculum.

10 Lessons the Arts Teach1. The arts teach children to make good judgments about qualitative relationships.
Unlike much of the curriculum in which correct answers and rules prevail, in the arts, it is judgment rather than rules that prevail. 2. The arts teach children that problems can have more than one solution and that questions can have more than one answer. 3. The arts celebrate multiple perspectives. One of their large lessons is that there are many ways to see and interpret the world. 4. The arts teach children that in complex forms of problem solving purposes are seldom fixed, but change with circumstance and opportunity. Learning in the arts requires the ability and a willingness to surrender to the unanticipated possibilities of the work as it unfolds. 5. The arts make vivid the fact that neither words in their literal form nor numbers exhaust what we can know. The limits of our language do not define the limits of our cognition. 6. The arts teach students that small differences can have large effects. The arts traffic in subtleties. 7. The arts teach students to think through and within a material. All art forms employ some means through which images become real. 8. The arts help children learn to say what cannot be said. When children are invited to disclose what a work of art helps them feel, they must reach into their poetic capacities to find the words that will do the job. 9. The arts enable us to have experience we can have from no other source and through such experience to discover the range and variety of what we are capable of feeling. 10. The arts' position in the school curriculum symbolizes to the young what adults believe is important. SOURCE: Eisner, E. (2002).
