Responding to Artwork
Below is some helpful language for parents to use when talking to children about their artwork.
When talking with children about their artwork, avoid the following:
- What would you like to tell me about your painting?
- What part did you like best?
- You've used many colors.
- Did enjoy making this?
- The yellow looks so bright next to the purple!
- You made a new color at the easel. How did you do it?
- How did you get that sculpture to stay up?
- You have been working hard. Tell me about what you are doing.
- You we're very careful about where you pasted those feathers.
- You made from lines going up and down and some going back and forth.
- Did your hands go round and round to make those circles?
When talking with children about their artwork, avoid the following:
- Using general words such as pretty, great or lovely.
- Telling children what you think their work represents.
- Asking children, "What is it?" Instead, say "Tell me about your picture."
- Keep your hands of the children's artwork and avoid telling them where the eyes, nose, etc. should be glued. The child should do all the work, regardless of age or developmental level.
