This week in 5th and 6th grade, we began critiquing our drawings so that we can begin our final drafts. When asked to define critique, students offered up the phrases "friendly advice," "kind and specific help" and "helping each other be better" all of which I thought were great.
For our first critique, we did a silent gallery walk and wrote down 'Grows' (denoted on some as a ' - ' symbol) which are areas that the artist needs to grow, work on, or revise and 'Glows' (indicated by a '+' on some artworks) which are areas that are successful or done well. Every student had to write down a kind and specific glow and a grow for three different artworks. Students were also asked to behave respectfully when looking at another student's artwork.
Here are a few grows and glows from 5th and 6th. Not too bad for a first critique.
