Prehistoric Age




















Prehistoric Age is a really fun age. The history is very easy and the questions are very basic. What could be easier than survival? One project tip is, if you spray the tile first the mediums will stick better. Have fun!

Welcome!

Art Through the Ages
An art and history adventure for kids!
The philosophy of Art Through the Ages is simply that kids learn best when they do.

The goal of Art Through the Ages is to teach art within the confines of how and why it came about. Kids are encouraged to ask, Why? For example, Why at this specific moment in time Van Gogh could do what Van Gogh did? What was unique to the development of a specific society that enabled certain people to break out of the artistic norms? Each art project is grounded by the subjects and materials of the time.

Art Through the Ages recognizes that information stays with kids when they recall (The Bridge), learn (The Fence), and show comprehension by applying and analyzing their knowledge (Let Them Roam).

Most importantly, kids learn best when it’s safe and positive. Smile and have a great time!
