Critique Poster: Like, Notice, Wonder

Created by

Potts Art

This is the poster I use in my elementary art classrooms to briefly highlight the idea of Critique. We do critiques using the prompts: like, notice, and wonder.

Critiques can be whole class discussions, small group discussions, pair shares, or self-reflections. This poster provides a clear visual of the 3 prompts. I've inc

Painted Paper Instructions K - 5th

Created by

These are 6 variations of creating painted paper - one for each grade level. I use these instruction sheets taped to each table when creating painted paper with my students.

Experience

Teaching style

I focus on the process of making art. Students explore a variety of artistic media, gaining skills in drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, and sculpture. They experiment with materials and techniques and are inspired by contemporary artists. I work hard to build up students as artists, to encourage them to build their creativity, be an observer, understand how to communicate with images, and most of all to be engaged in the act of creating. I incorporate choice into my classrooms and am working my way towards TAB as a teaching and learning methodology.

My own education history

I received my BA in Studio Art & Geography from Middlebury College and my MFA in Visual Arts from Washington University in St. Louis. I primarily focused on printmaking.
