Art Questions for Kids

This question bank provides a solid base for anyone discussing art with primary or secondary children.

If you’re not an art teacher, or if art isn’t really your “thing”, it can be hard to start and sustain a conversation about a piece of artwork. These questions provide a starting point to stimulate discussion.

Don’t go overboard and try and use all the questions at once - for a really meaningful discussion, stick with just a few.

They are organised so that you can ask questions just from a single angle (Describe it, Relate it, Analyse it etc) or you can meander through the groups as you see fit.

It’s not an exhaustive list! I’ll be creating more lists in the coming weeks.
