Critique, Revise and Document Process

Artists and designers improve through critique and revision. Learners practice a four-stage critique (describe, analyze, interpret, evaluate) and separate observation from judgment; give kind, specific, helpful feedback and receive it gracefully; revise with clear priorities, comparing versions against criteria; and document their process with thumbnails, versions and a process log, while using references ethically and giving credit.

  • 4 lessons
  • About 125 minutes
  • Critique and revision check: 10 questions
  • Ways to answer: fill in the blanks, choose an answer, highlight a text, match pairs, type a number and put in order
