Were you able to get 3 things accomplished today that help you see you are on the right path for completion? Is there a good amount of work to finish? STAY ON TASK. 

AP Studio Art: Concentration CRITIQUE (and PLAN)

10.1Ad: Synthesize knowledge of social, cultural, historical, and personal life with art-making approaches to create meaningful works of art or design.

Well… Grab a RUBRIC IV – AP Studio Art and begin your self evaluation – AFTER you have taken a few 12 minutes to do  written evaluation of 4 works of art – make sure your written critiques use ACTIONABLE / CRITICAL / IMPROVEMENT type statements. Your sticky notes from last time were, in some cases weak and unproductive. Let’s start this critique then. Get the work up in front of us and you lead the way. KORB will sit and listen… Keep time Korb.

Critique - You do the work... I do the listening... and time keeping. https://i0.wp.com/www.saic.edu/media/saic/gfx/admissions/whysaic-undergrad/critiquereplace.jpg
