One picture, ten styles
Tap through the same beach scene painted ten ways, from cave walls to Pop Art, then draw your own.

30 to 60 minutes
Save as PDF from your print menu.
Get ready
None to look. Paper and crayons or paint to draw.
What you’ll need
A phone or laptop, paper, crayons, markers or watercolors.
Let’s play
Your part in the adventure
Read the clues out loud, then draw alongside your kid. Your drawing does not need to be good; it needs to be in the style.
What they’re discovering
Art history, observation and vocabulary. They learn that the same subject can be shown many ways.
Before you begin
Supervise paint and scissors with younger kids.
Keep the idea going
Older kids: pick three styles and draw the same picture in each, oldest to newest.
Every child is different. Adjust activities for their age and abilities, and stay close by. These are play ideas, not medical or developmental advice.
