Goal: Students will give each other feedback on their artwork, and use feedback from their peers to make revisions to their ideas.
Estimated time: 45-60 minutes
As a group, discuss what a critique is. (Teacher should view EL Learning video on Critique/Feedback prior to class)
Emphasize the objectives/expectations for the critique: Be Kind, Be Specific, Be Helpful.
Using the drawing rubric for self/peer critique, students will work with a partner to discuss the target criteria for the content and compositions of their three beginning, middle, and end thumbnail sketches from parts II-IV. Partners will offer one comment on what artists did well in their design and composition, and one suggestion for what artists can improve upon.
If a student works better alone, they may use the same rubric to self-critique their thumbnail sketches.
Using the feedback from the peer critique, groups will make final revisions to their sketches using page 4 of their workbook (Part VI- Final Sketches: Beginning, Middle, and End). Students may leave the written description box blank- they will be working on that on Day 5.
