In Chapter 7 of "The Intentional Teacher" Epstein reminds us that children need to be encouraged by factual comments about their visual art creations such as "You used the color orange in your picture." rather than judging whether you "like it" or if you think it is "beautiful". There is almost a full page discussion on this topic.
There are also a wide array of open ended question examples to utilize in facilitating discussion regarding children's work. Thank you Ann S. Epstein for your reminders of developmentally appropriate practices in the classroom! "The Intentional Teacher Teacher.." on your shelf can remind you of the basics when you loose your way!
