When my students are done with an art project I always ask them, “Can you tell me about this art you created?” They then go on to tell me a story about it. If it is a water color or painting, I take a pencil and write exactly what they said on the drawing with quotations around it. For example, they may say “This is a city in the sky”. I smile because some of their words are incredible. Like, “This is my mom…do you see…she is an angel”. The Montessori directress never corrects or adds to a student’s art work.
