This is my drawing of the four children. (sorry for the poor quality)  Originally they were all boys but I changed them all to girls because why not. I just drew what looked right in my head.

Red=“wicked”

Blue=“Innocent/ simple”

Green= “Wise”

Purple= “The one who doesn’t know how to ask”

The reason I did shapes in the background (other than aesthetic) was to hint at other possibilities of why each child would ask each question.

Triangle: Sharp edges and corners cause things to seem less approachable than things with rounded edges. This represents that the “wicked” child would be less approachable, like her question. It’s taken the wrong way even though she doesn’t mean any harm, even though she just wants a deeper understanding.

Heart: The reason I did a heart for the innocent/simple child was to show her love for learning. I thought of this kid as a younger child who is eager to learn. So when she asks a “simple” question, she doesn’t want to get a simple answer. She wants an answer that will help her learn as much as possible. But because she’s so young and still learning, she doesn’t know many of the details and therefore can’t ask about those details, leaving her with the more broad question.

Circle: I did the circle for the “wise” child because you would never know when it’s spinning. In other words, you don’t know what part of her is showing. The “wise” child doesn’t feel connected with the Seder and only asks her question because she’s expected to. In reality, she’s board out of her mind. She tries to think of the best questions to ask as a cover up. (DUN DUN DUN)

Square: I chose the square to represent structure. The one who doesn’t know how to ask is just socially awkward and would rather have a deep conversation with one other person she’s close to than having to ask a question in front of everyone at the Seder. The structure here is that she has everything all figured out. By showing that she can’t ask questions in front of so many people, they will be forced to say the most important details/ideas, which she can analyze later. Also, by not speaking, you have a better chance to observe what’s happening around you.
