30 minute critique

Jane asked/suggested that I post the 30 minute critique on my blog, so here it is.

30 minute critique with a high school class

• (3 minutes) Introduce critique to class
• (30 seconds) Restate Lesson objectives –what you are expecting/asking of them
• (2 minute) Group students -4 groups. 4 students per group
• (1 minute) Assign 4 works of art to each group
• (30 seconds) Handout question sheet
• (8 minutes) students –in their groups- analyze assigned artwork (2 minutes for each piece)
•  (1 minute) Ask students to come back together
• (12 minutes) Each group discusses one of their assigned works (3 minutes for each group) and how it ties in with lesson objects.
• (2 minutes) Here Aaron suggests that at the end of class all the written critiques (the handouts now filled out) should be posted next to its artwork so each student receives a response.
