Art With Kids: Coloring Pages


I subscribe to Dover's Free Sampler, which often has fun printables like coloring pages, paper dolls, etc.  I especially love the artwork coloring pages they sometimes share.  These coloring pages based on famous works of art and artistic styles would be great to help expose kids to artists from various periods.  I like the idea of letting kids color the picture first without seeing the original, then see how theirs differs, and what difference that makes in how the artwork looks.

Dover doesn't keep these up indefinitely, so you may want to download these for later use.  (A few of these are not from Dover, but most are)
