Art history should ideally be studied as part of history, following the same time period that you are studying in history.  In addition, having good art books in the home that the children can just flip through in their free time develops appreciation in a pleasant way.  Visiting art museums should be done a few times a year if possible.  Even though the thought of taking young children to an art museum may strike terror into the hearts of some, starting at a young age will make enjoying art a normal part of life.  It is also an excellent opportunity to practice good manners.
