The site has been designed in consultation with local kids and offers a host of games, quizzes, videos and activities inspired by art, including creative challenges to do at home and a gallery where children can share their own art.
The new Tate Kids site includes 14 games, such as Art Parts, where you can use your imagination to fill in missing parts of famous works of art. There are 10 new quizzes to help you find out which art superhero you would be or which artist would design your bedroom. Other activities show you how to cut and paste your own Matisse, carve your own Hepworth, or create your own performance art. You can also share your creations by uploading them to the Tate Kids gallery.
Tate Kids also helps children to enjoy learning about art, with fun adventures through works in Tate’s collection and fascinating facts about movements like surrealism and artists like Andy Warhol and Yayoi Kusama. The website even has its own young art critics, with video reviews of Tate’s exhibitions and interviews with artists.
