10 Questions to Ask
Your Child About Their Artwork
1. What can you tell me about
your picture?
2. What materials did you use?
3. Where did you get your idea?
4. What is your favourite part
of the picture?
5. What title would you give
this picture?
6. If you were doing this
picture again what would you change or do differently?
7. Why did you use the color…
(insert color)?
8. What if…. (you had used the
color red instead of blue or paint instead of pencil)?
9. How did you….(make
these lines, decide on these colors, or create that shape)?
10. If you had more time
what would you add to your artwork?

their answers or use the artwork as a starting point for telling a story. Open
ended questions will help develop critical thinking
skills in your child . By taking an
interest in their work you are supporting them and helping them express their
own ideas.
