Art Explorers Go! Printable Art History Workbook | Ages 6–11

Turn curious kids into art detectives!

Art Explorers Go! helps children look closely, ask thoughtful questions, and explain their ideas using evidence from art. Created for ages 6–11, grades 1–5, this printable workbook introduces art through lines, colors, stories, materials, cultures, and artistic movements.

The 10-page PDF includes five lessons covering Look & Describe, Stories & Symbols, Materials & Making, Cultures & Connections, and Movements & Ideas. You’ll also receive teacher guidance, an introductory observation activity, a Review & Reflect page, and an answer guide with suggested responses.

Use it for adult-guided learning at home or in the classroom. Younger learners can answer aloud or dictate to an adult; older learners can write their responses.

Before each lesson, an adult chooses and displays images of the artworks or examples discussed. Artwork reproductions are not included. The workbook includes a link to an art-image resource to help you get started.

You’ll receive one downloadable PDF. Print the full workbook or just the pages you need. Classroom copying is permitted.
