Thank you for sharing your Close Read...Hi Valerie,<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your Close Read exemplars. Your handout looks much closer to a 4-step art criticism process, and it may help transition our Art I students into the streamlined format that our elective and AP/IB students use (I'll put one up asap).<br /><br />I have approached art criticism (Close Read and other methods) much the same way that you are. It involves a lot of "practice" and some "follow the leader" until younger/beginner students are comfortable going it alone. I always try to situate my students in mixed groups so that stronger students can guide weaker ones, and the students in between either work toward the higher level and/or help the ones having more difficulty with the process. When learning and practicing the process I will often have all students (Art I and elective) do "small group" critiques/close reads to get everybody comfortable with the steps (or review them in the case of elective students) as it makes the process a lot less intimidating when they are learning how to look at, discuss and critique artworks.Beth LPHS Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992774600631164855noreply@blogger.com
