One of the kids' favorite things to do is go to LACMA, particularly on Sundays when they have their special children's programming from 12:30 to 3:30pm. Every week there are art projects set up in the courtyard where the kids can learn about works inside and practice everything from pottery to pen and ink drawings (and with real artist-quality materials, too). There's even a "Toddler Tarp" for the youngest kids. And thanks to the museum's NexGen program admission is free, too.
Beatrice has extremely traditional tastes when it comes to art - she loves Renaissance, Baroque, and Neo-Classical styles, and she labels anything contemporary "not art." Arthur prefers non-Western art, especially Indian and Chinese. And William? Well, yesterday we took him into James Turrell's Ganzfeld APANI where he relieved himself mightily, though whether that means he liked it or not, I can't say.

| Chris Burden's Metropolis II is not, in Beatrice's opinion, art. |

| This is art. |
Arthur's favorite artwork: Elephant Combat, from Rajasthan, circa 1725

| Arthur spends a lot of time speculating as to why the elephants would be fighting. His current theory is that one spit water on the other. |
