The Ultimate Collections of Artworks to Show your Students

Inside: A collection of posts with lists of artworks for kids and students categorized by theme with tips on how to show and teach the works of art.

When children are exposed to a variety works of art, they learn about the world and themselves. They learn about the possibilities of art making and establish deep connections to artworks that will stay with them throughout their lives. Looking at art helps students develop empathy, flex thinking and observation skills, connect with history, get in touch with their creative side, and savor the human spirit.

That’s why Art Class Curator has several lists with artists and artworks every kid should know, all of which you’ll find below. Most of the lists include looking questions, tips, information, and resources to help you teach works of art.

Testimonials

I like how this program, unlike other art class resource membership programs, feels authentic. It's like art matters more here, and not fancy flash-in-the-pan trendiness. The goal of Art Class Curator seemed to be helping kids develop a lifelong love and art appreciation versus "Hey, look. I painted this fish."

Your questions are helping me to delve into much deeper learning, and my students are getting better at discussion-and then, making connections in their own work. Art Class Curator is awesome!

Interestingly, my lower performing classes really get engaged in these [lessons] and come away with some profound thoughts!

I had the most amazing 6th grade class today. They were jumping out of their seats with hands raised just to respond and give input. It was as if I was waving candy in front of them! They saw more and more and the ideas and interpretations unfolded. So cool!!! This is what makes teaching art so wonderful – thank you!!

I just wanted to thank you for the invaluable resource you have through Art Class Curator. Not only do you have thought provoking activities and discussion prompts, but it saves me so much time in preparing things for myself! I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface with your site.
