Art
Reproductions of great masterpieces
inspire an appreciation of beauty at
any age. We hang them at the child's
eye level. and provide art postcards to
sort into groups, such as by artist.
Montessori 3-6 environments sometimes
have a "museum" table, or shelf where
beautiful objects can be brought into the
environment for temporary exhibits. Since
everything else in the room is available for
handling, this gives practice in just looking,
like in a real museum, and allows close
exposure to beautiful objects that the child
might not otherwise have.
Whenever possible we give the best
of examples of art and the best art materials,
at the youngest, most impressionable age.
