Edmodo Seminar Self-assess

Critique

Project Critique
1.  As a whole group, discuss each project verbally.

• Articulate the message you are receiving as an audience member. 
• Is the message clear? 
• Is it rhetorically impactful?  
• What is the tone?  
• What improvements/refinements could the artist make?

2.  When you have finished the discussion of each visual piece, do a "read-around" critique of the artist statements (everyone should read/critique 2 statements).  For each, PROOFREAD the piece for errors AND annotate for the following:

• Is the perspective articulated clearly and thoroughly?
• Is the background info sufficient and appropriately related to the project?  What else would you want to know as an audience member?
• Does the statement illuminate the visual piece, adding meaning and clarity to the message?
• What could the artist add/subtract/refine/improve?

Edmodo Seminar Self-Assess
