Discovering Art History Through Play

There is so much more to learn about history than what is taught in our standard history classes. While your child might be studying things like the Civil War and World War II, what about things like art history? A lucky few children will get to study it as part of their art class but many will not be aware of these sub-section of history until college.

So why no enrich your child’s life by introducing it to him or her early on? No, I don’t mean sitting in a dark room looking at slides and memorizing titles and dates. There are plenty of child-friendly ways to help your son or daughter learn more about art and its history. One currently popular option is purchasing LEGO Architecture sets. 

These sets allow children to build scale models of landmarks and famous architectural marvels that helped to reshape the field and the way it approaches design. One of these sets is the Imperial Hotel LEGO set which is a model of the hotel once located in Tokyo, Japan and designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. This set is quite unique as it allows your child to experience an architectural marvel that no longer actually exists; while many of the LEGO sets are modeled after buildings you could visit if you wanted to, the Imperial Hotel LEGO captures something from the past, something that might otherwise be forgotten. In a way, this set is the essence of art history and its desire to preserve in person and in memory the work of artists.
