<\/a>D’you remember the poster or picture that hung on your bedroom wall when you were a kid?\u00a0 The chances are you’ll have spent several hours over the years contemplating that\u00a0image – whatever it was (even the girl in the tennis dress scratching her bum).<\/p>\nSo now the holidays are here, if you’re into a bit of lite culture for your family, think about this simple\u00a0and effortless learning tool for children – one that slides a bit of culture right under your children’s noses, without them even noticing.<\/p>\n
Take 5 of the world’s most famous paintings\u00a0– or just your favourites\u00a0(\u00a0my bunch included the Mona Lisa, Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, The Toilet of Venus, Leonardo’s The Last Supper and\u00a0Caravaggio’s Supper At Emmaus) and stick them (A5 size is best) on the wall at eye height in your kitchen, right next to the table where your children have\u00a0breakfast, lunch and supper every day.<\/p>\n
After a few months of looking at them, liking or hating them,\u00a0discussing what’s going on in them, those images will be\u00a0ingrained in their minds.\u00a0 Better than looking at kitchen tiles.\u00a0 Or\u00a0a daily dose of cartoons.\u00a0 Interesting, too.<\/p>\n
Don’t forget:\u00a0 you can find out more about artists\u00a0in our movie biographies of Leonardo da Vinci, Van Gogh, Goya, Gainsborough and Rembrandt.\u00a0 www.nowyouknowabout.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" D’you remember the poster or picture that hung on your bedroom wall when you were a kid?\u00a0 The chances are you’ll have spent several hours over the years contemplating that\u00a0image – whatever it was…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8694,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n
