Student Reflection Requirement:
Each submission should include the child/student reflecting o their art. Encouraging your child to reflect on their art is a powerful way to build a child's brain. That's why we're encouraging children to submit a reflection about their art. You can help get your child started by asking a question that starts with how, why, or what. Here are some prompts you can use to help get your child started.
* What is your picture about? Why did you pick this moment?
* How did seeing this make you feel?
* What do you remember the most about where we went?
* What part of the experience was your favorite?
* What scared you the most, and how did you overcome that fear?
