AP Studio Art: Critique Days – I hope the extra Two days were HELPFUL

Reflect: Learning to think and talk with others about an aspect of one’s work or working process, and learning to judge one’s own work and working process and the work of others.

Grab the 4 part PRE-Critique Worksheets and (on your own pacing) go for the next 28 – 20 minutes to critique one another’s work. What response do you have regarding your studio mate’s  works – really – that can help them see things that they might not see – things that might help them continue to learn from their own works and marks? NO KID GLOVES.

Presentations to the studio from the website – answer the questions from AP and present the work that has been created. G: Nothing – reflected on work that was produced.
