How do you talk about art with your children? It’s important to be able to talk about their work in an objective fashion. Don’t say “It’s beautiful!” Children will work to meet your expectations, and when you say this, they understand that they don’t have to work any harder. They’ve met your expectations. Instead, say what you see: “I see you’ve used lots of red and blue. Do you like these colors? …. Why?” Or refer to your instruction: “We learned about using different shapes in our drawing. What shapes did you use here?” Do give concrete compliments, for example “Wow, your use of shading makes the ball look really round!”, “That is a very curvy line!”, or “You used very bright colors in your drawing. That makes it stand out!” Here are some posters with basic art-related vocabulary. What words might you use, in teaching an art lesson? Which words are new for you? Which ones did you already know? Choose some words to focus on and use them in your teaching.
