Time is alloted at the end of each session for a critique and summary. Participans each verbalize some aspect oftheir experiences and their artwork. This is an opportunity for the teacher to: model healthy evaluation behaviors; make encouraging comments; demonstrate that being an artist (and writer!) involves constant reflection and revision; and reinforce the art ideas and skills learned during each lesson.
