Art History @ Home - Learn, Explore & Wonder Together
“These guides aren’t about memorizing art history. They’re about noticing, wondering, and discovering how art connects us to each other across time and experience.
”
Art History @ Home brings purposeful art appreciation and creative thinking into your everyday life — whether you’re at the table, on a walk, or under a tree.
Our At-Home Guides are designed for families and educators who want:
deep engagement, not worksheets
art history that feels alive and human
open-ended conversations kids remember
multi-age learning that’s flexible and joyful
Each guide blends:
🎨 short artist stories and historical context
👀 Harvard Artful Thinking prompts (See–Think–Wonder)
✍️ creative invitations for drawing, play, and reflection
⚡ ideas for making anywhere — home, park, porch, yard
This is art history you experience — not memorize.
How These Guides Work
📘 Flexible and open-ended — use all at once or as mini sessions.
👨👩👧👦 All ages welcome — built to spark conversation between 5 and 105.
☀️ Anywhere learning — kitchen table, porch swing, or picnic blanket.
🎁 Playful + meaningful — prompts that turn curiosity into discovery.
