What children will practise
Practises looking at art and naming the feeling colour gives (bright colours feel lively, dark colours feel quiet or mysterious), and practises praising a friend's work politely. Fits indicator ศ 1.2 ป.1/1 on talking about how artwork makes you feel.
What's in the worksheet
6 questions, multiple choice with 3 options each - What should you do when looking at a friend's drawing? (praise it and comment politely) - Must good art always look real? (no, not necessarily) - How does a picture in dark colours usually feel? (quiet, sad or mysterious) - Why keep your own artwork to look back at? (to see how you have improved)
How to use it in class
Play after a class gallery walk, about 8 minutes, one question at a time on the projector for the whole class. Before revealing the bright-colour and dark-colour questions, hold up two real pictures so children compare by eye. When many miss a question, ask "If it were your picture, what would you want a friend to say?" to bring it back to polite feedback. Play it linked to the class and the scores go into the gradebook.
Common sticking points
- "Must good art always look real?": many Grade 1 children believe realistic means good and pick "it must always look real". Show a lovely cartoon or abstract picture that is not realistic. - "Looking at a friend's drawing": some pick "point out every mistake right away", thinking it helps. Talk about how that would make the friend feel. - Keeping your own work: some pick "to sell it". Put a child's early-term piece beside a recent one so they see the progress.
