Critique + Painting Class

 Today in studio class, the students had to do a critique on their watercolor paintings. None of them have done a critique before so it was a slight challenge at first. Many of them did not know how to give comments and feedback on others work. Most of the students were also too self-conscious to even speak about their work or their peers work. So I decided that it would be best that the students walked around the class and gave the students each a grade and comment on a sheet of paper. This way each of the students would be critiqued and graded by everyone. The students had to as well write a response on what they believe they should get and complete their rubric. It was great to see the students evaluate their work and others for once.

     In my drawing and painting class, the students have begun a new project. They have to create a series of 5 squares that work together in a theme. Most students found this easy to do and chose something of their interest. Once the students had chosen an idea, they had to sketch them out and figure out which color scheme should be used for each. The students had to create an image that is monochromatic, complementary, analogous, neutral, and black and white. I found the color schemes to be the hardest part for the students. I was glad to help them execute what would be the most successful.
