Art Making and Meaning:
Understanding through Questions
Art Enrichment for Adults Parents, grandparents, and other adults can consult “Elementary Art Classes” for recommendations of questions appropriate for younger learners that they might use as starting points to initiate intergenerational exploration with children or adolescents, for example, on a trip to a local art museum. Professionals and volunteers responsible for enrichment activities in community centers, museums, or senior centers will find Art Making and Meaning to be a flexible and engaging resource to stimulate discussion among adults. The broad questions offer opportunities for adults from diverse cultural backgrounds and generations to share their own visual experiences, not only with art but also with meaningful cultural or family heirlooms or treasures.
