They will ask permission to add something or change up a direction. My standard response is usually, if it makes you happy do it! Sometimes they will ask about changing the color of an object. for example we painted some landscapes in 4th grade. they asked if the colors had to be realistic, I told them to paint their landscape whatever colors made them happy and they had the best time mixing colors and painting different combinations together! The colors they made were amazing! I have given classes different materials and told them to simply create to see what they come up with. Some classes/kids do well with it and others struggle to make their artistic decisions. More than ever, I think we , as art teachers, need to make sure that we are giving our students the opportunity to make their own creative choices within the parameters of a lesson.
