Kids Like Art

Early in our dating and marriage I’d drag Brad to museums to look at art. Ok, so he went willingly. Since we’ve had kids we take our kids to museums wherever we visit and lucky for us in the UK all of our museums are free. When we went to London we did scavenger hunts for paintings at the National Gallery and Tate Modern and took them to see our favourite British museum, the National Portrait Gallery. Our kids now beg on a monthly basis to visit the woolly mammoth at the Cardiff Museum.

Last week we took a brief visit to see the Welsh Annual Portrait Award. And as every trip to a museum should be, we had a little fun too. They always guide us to their favourites at the end explaining why, and every visit involves some sort of posing. Since our kids have grown up with art I notice how they love to participate in a dialogue about what they see and about what they think. They do a lot of the talking and I just ask a few questions. We don’t stay long, but they always have lots to say. My two little critics.
