Tate Kids

97 episodes

Short art videos from Tate, the UK's national art museums, aimed straight at children rather than at adults visiting a gallery. Three shapes recur across the ninety-odd titles here: Becoming an Artist portraits that tell the life and ideas behind real Tate works (Frida Kahlo, Turner, Yayoi Kusama, Yinka Shonibare), looking-and-thinking pieces that ask why some art has shocked people or what art might smell like, and follow-along making activities such as three ways to paint. Most run three to six minutes, which is about right for an art warm-up or a discussion starter.
