I found it to be most helpful to ask students about their work before you offer advice. Ask about what inspired them to make the specific project, so they can open up about their creative process. This will then be easier to flow into how to develop their ideas and better their work. Connect with the students on a friend level before coming to them as a mentor!

I found it most helpful to walk around the room during work time; this allowed for the students to feel more comfortable asking me questions and come up to me first. Do not be scared to approach them as well!
