Thursday, December 15, 2016 | Feedback Session & Ladder of Feedback Protocol

Yesterday, you ran through feedback with a partner. Today is an opportunity for the group to practice on intentional feedback as we prepare for exhibitions.  Approach feedback with a growth mindset and look for ways to help others grow.  Keep your language focused around helping them to grow and make their artistic intent well communicated.

DO NOW
Choose one Artist Statement from the group to workshop.  Someone who is seeking more complete feedback.  Complete the ladder of feedback protocol with their artist statement.

  • Review/Clarify Outcomes 
    • Presenter will review outcomes for the team. At this time, presenter will identify what changes are being made and what feedback those changes are based upon.  (5 minutes)
  • Review of relevant documents

Studio Time | Set a Goal for Your Artist Statement Revisions. A stretch goal of running through the C|E|CH process again with a new partner is reasonable. Also, finish your emails to parents, professionals, and family members.
