On Monday, I listed 10 kinesthetic art activities to do in front of works of art. Now, here are 12 artworks that can be explored through movement. Show the art to the kids and get them moving with some kinesthetic art appreciation activities!
Don’t stop there; be sure to discuss the artwork with your students as well using these ways to talk about art with kids.
Note: Some of these artworks contain nudity. You can make the decision for your own families/classes whether or not you are comfortable showing it to kids. The great majority of students I’ve taught were able to handle this respectfully. It’s only weird if you make it weird.
Teens of the 90s may recognize this one. “Mmm mmm mmm mmm.”
Which one is your favorite?

I absolutely ADORE this idea! I teach art at a K-5 public school and am always looking for ideas to engage students in learning about art. I stumbled upon your site and feel like I found the jack pot awesome ideas! If I could make one request it would be this: more examples without the nudity. Being at a public school and working with age 5-11, I know my admin and many of the parents of my students would not want me showing artworks with nudes. I LOVE all of your ideas and can’t wait to implement them. I just wish there were more examples that I could automatically use in my own classroom. Thank you for all that you do to promote the arts!
Thanks! I usually leave the nudity decisions up to the teacher, but I didn’t notice the first time around that the majority of this list has nudity.
