A Real Parent's Story
My 6-year-old's art critique
“She stood in front of a Picasso and said his lines are messy because he was thinking about too many things. A curator agreed.”
Read full story
I worried the Louvre would bore my 6-year-old. Instead she walked through the galleries like a tiny critic. She analyzed a Monet and a curator knelt down to explain the Impressionists. She made a Picasso-style mask in the children's workshop. It is on our fridge.
