MoMA At-Home Art Activities
Art-making ideas from MoMA, each starting from a work in the museum’s collection.
MoMA’s family pages bring museum-style looking into the home through making activities and recorded programs. The art-making roundup covers drawing, collage, audio and movement, not only painting. One way in is to look at a single artwork together, name a choice the artist made, and try something related with whatever materials are around.

Who it suits
MoMA describes the art-making roundup as suited to ages 6 and up. Children who like talking about what they see could get more from it than those wanting a model to copy step by step.
Notes for parents
Younger kids may want a grown-up to read the prompts aloud.
