My 7th graders made optical illusions this week, we looked at organic vs. geometric lines and warm vs. cool colors. Everyone really enjoyed this little art activity. Next time, I might add a value component where the edges are darker and a "light source" is hitting the top of the area to really make it pop! A few days into the activity I had them switch with someone at their table and do a peer critique. I made a template that I project on the smart board to facilitate this activity. It looks like this:
_____________'s Feedback
I see_________________.
I think _________________.
I wonder____________________.
The peer write's their name at the top and then provides feedback based on what they see so far, what they think they can do to improve/finish, and then offer a suggestion for higher level. I thought it was really interesting to find out that a lot of the students were extremely supportive and encouraging, but also continued to provide feedback even after the activity. They even asked to work on writing complete sentences in art because they want to be confident when providing feedback to their peers. WIN - WIN!!!
