Unit 3 Creating your Art Critique lesson
Creating your Art Critique Lesson
A lesson plan is an organizational tool teachers use in order to plan out their daily lessons. Lesson plans are written differently according to content and school, however, it is something all teachers refer to during their instruction.
A standard Art CRITIQUE lesson plan can be broken down into several main categories:
Grade Level
The grade level in which you are teaching
Number of Day working on project
A critique would normally be the last day of a project.
Name of Lesson or Project
This is the title of the lesson or the name of the project students are working on For a critique it would be "Critique"
Daily Objective for that day'
An objective is what the students will be working on for that day, in this case, the objective would be "Engage in class critique of student artwork"
Agenda
The sequence of activities for that day.
Questions or Comments the teacher plans to ask or add to lesson'
Planned out questions to ask students in order to build discussion or check for understanding. During a critique some questions would follow the critique outline.
- Describe what you see
- What are the elements and principles you see?
- What is the meaning of this art?
- Do you like it? Why or why not?
Assessment
In what ways the teacher will assess the students throughout the lesson. Formative assessments such as group work and discussion, summative assessments such as an exit ticket. For this lesson, it would be the critique itself.
Time Stamps for each activity
This is important because it keeps the teacher on track and moving at an appropriate pace so there is enough time to teach the entire lesson.
How to create your art critique lesson
