  1. Using Peer Review To become a better artist South Laurel Middle School Arts and Humanities Dept. London, KY

  2. What is Peer Review? • Peer review is a way each of you can get objective (NOT mean spirited!) feedback from your peers! • It is a way to help and be helped by other students! • It is a way to grow as an artist, AND • Help others grow as artists!

  3. Traits of Good Peer Reviewers • Good Peer Reviewers are • THOROUGH in following format of reviewing. No rushing through. • Truly THINK about each item • ARE SERIOUS! No “cute” or flippant remarks. • KNOW that a fellow student put a great deal of time and effort into the project. KNOW that he or she deserves respect!

  4. Good Peer Reviewers… • Offer suggestions, NOT commands. • Never argue with the artist. • Simply offer suggestions and move on.

  5. Good Peer Reviewers… • Use “I feel” Statements • NEVER use “finger pointing” language such as “You did” this or “you didn’t do” that. • Example: “I feel the focal point in this piece needs to be emphasized more”.

  6. Good Peer Reviewers… • Are careful to phrase all comments CLEARLY and CAREFULLY so the artist easily understands what needs improvement. • Are careful to ALSO include comments about what is done very well!

  7. Good Peer Reviewers… • Makes sure all comments are CONSTRUCTIVE and SPECIFIC. • Never says something as vague as: “I think you need to work on it some more”. • An example of good direction would be: “I don’t feel there is a pathway for the viewer’s eye to follow. Perhaps if you repeated this element of color it would create one.”

  8. Good Peer Reviewers • Avoid turning the artist’s artwork into YOUR artwork!

  9. Not only must you be a good REVIEWER • But you must also be a good REVIEWEE

  10. A Good Reviewee • Accepts CONSTRUCTIVE criticism well • Does not argue. Simply listens to suggestions and considers them. • Knows he or she may not accept every suggestion, but does not become defensive. • Understands that the viewer may have a different point of view…and that is ok. • Does not become angry.

  11. A Good Reviewee • Does not give “excuses” • Simply listens • And thinks whether he/she feels the suggestion is something he/she needs to do • Thanks the reviewer!
