This month, I will be showing you art from around the world. Each day, I will pick one country and one artwork to focus on. Are you ready for this? This is super crazy! In the month of November, I am going to do one post per day. I’ve always wanted to try this to see if it is something I can do.
I will write a little bit of information about the art, give you at least 3 art discussion questions to use with your kiddos to help you talk about it, and provide you with at least one idea for an art learning activity or art project you could do to help teach about the artwork in question. I’m sure there will be other goodies thrown in as well. They won’t be as long as an Art Spotlight or a Masterpiece Monday since this is daily, but I will introduce you and your family to a LOT of amazing art from around the world and offer you some new ideas. The artworks vary from super old to some made in this decade.
Oh! One more thing. At the end of the month, I will be putting all 30 artworks and accompanying text into a PDF Art Around the World for Kids eBook to put in the Curated Connections Library!
When I post a new artwork, I will link to it down below, so future readers can come back to this post as an index to this month of art. I’ve already chosen the artworks for the whole month, so I’ll go ahead and list the countries to get you all excited with anticipation for Art Around the World in 30 Days. I will also be posting other resources from the countries covered (and some that are not!) on my Facebook page, so be sure to stop by the page this month to get some other great links and resources about art around the world.

I love this!! Can’t wait to see all the posts this month. Talking art with kids is always one of my favorite things…they come up with the best thoughts!
Thanks! I am having SO MUCH FUN writing them! I’m about a week in, and I chose a lot of things I don’t know a lot about, so I’m learning a ton.
As a homeschooling family, we are all going to enjoy this series. Looking forward to the days to come.
That’s awesome! Please let me know how it goes talking about the art with your kids. 🙂
I am an art teacher and really appreciate all of your hard work in preparing these awesome lessons. Thank you!
You’re very welcome! 🙂
Thanks for coming by. If there is anything you need or if you have a topic you’d like me to cover, let me know.
This is great! We are studying countries and cultures this year, and I’ll love showing my kids the art work!
Thank you! That’s great. 🙂
I saw your post on Mommy Blogger’s Share and I love this idea. I have been fascinated by art (and museums) since I was a little girl and my grandmother was a docent at the art museum. I love that you have gathered these amazing works of art in one place and I look forward to sharing them with my kids. Pinning. Thank you!
Thank you! That is awesome that you had such a great connection with museums as a kid. I’m glad I can help you pass that along to your little ones. 🙂
Wow I m surprised that Greece is not one of the counties here.
Oops my original comment I’m deleting because I thought this was a comment in a different post. 🙂 I was choosing art that people may not have heard of not going for popular countries. I do have Greek art represented on the blog in other posts just not in this series. 🙂
Thank you so much for these great ideas! I am certain that with these materials,
children with intellectual disabilities can learn and appreciate the art works around the
world. We at the Department of Education (Philippines) are creating a handbook for children with disabilities and one of the topics in the curriculum is about Arts: appreciation and creative expression.
This is wonderful!
