Only in the past several decades have artists of color received the serious notice due them. Sharna Jackson, Black Artists Shaping the World We’ve assembled a list of the best bets with an eye toward cultivating a taste for art. There are loads, aimed at every age group from toddler to teen. But what’s the best way to keep the kids engaged and wanting to head back for more-or better yet, to persuade recalcitrant youngsters to give art another try? The answer is easy: Get them a book on art history written for kids. Obviously, the latter is the most desirable scenario, and the most likely to suggest a budding art lover. You’ll likely face one of three possible outcomes: 1) The child hates it and wants to leave immediately 2) the child is mostly indifferent but sees a few things he thinks is cool, and that-plus a trip to the museum cafeteria for an overpriced burger-salvages the effort or 3) the child loves it and doesn’t want to go when it’s time to leave. Visiting a museum is a tried and true diversion for children, but that very first visit isn’t guaranteed to be an unmitigated success.
