» Georgene A. Bramlage - Critique Standards

I am one of the poll responces that voted for the middle of the road answer because I absolutely believe in setting standards or clearly understood objectives for educational critique of any kind, especially art.

My few experiences (on behalf of one of my own and other students) with a select few of our local art educators leave me cold and with the feelings that I surely would not like to take classes with them...how could I learn anything!

1 - little or no guidance
2 - do your "own thing"
3 - I will judge or grade with my own standards
4 - don't ask me what these standards (criteria)are!

Hi Georgene,
I have been away at a Youth Conference.
Yes I think that we are all still recovering from an 'anything goes' revolution that took pace in the 70's.
I am at the moment writing up assessment that is meant to be used with the students as goal setting and self evelauation.
In other words they help me write the criteria sheets and then assess themselves against their own bench marks as they go along.
Student teacher partnerships are good!
Thanks for voting,
Jo
