Day 9

Goal: Students will be able to give each other feedback on their artwork, and use feedback from their peers to make final revisions to their mural.

Estimated time: 45-60 minutes

Review the objectives and expectations for critique: Be Kind, Be Specific, Be Helpful.
Groups will present their mural so far to the class, describing their work.
Students will be doing a “Sticky-note” critique. Each individual student will walk around and take a close look at the mural designs completed by each group. On one sticky note, they will write one thing the artists did well in their design and composition. On another sticky note, they will write one thing that the artists can improve upon.
Groups will reconvene and use the feedback from the sticky-notes to make final revisions to their mural.
Clean-up—emphasize proper cleaning and storage of brushes (hair up) so that they don’t get ruined. Acrylic paint is plastic based, meaning it is not water-soluble after drying. Students should take care to keep paint off clothing, carpet, and to clean brushes well.
