    Pin up the art on the wall/bulletin board...whatever you use for display and
    have the kids critique according to some rules.
    Cant pick your own
    Hide the names, and no picking artwork just to please a friend and, etc.,
    Critics have NO friends they don't know anyone, they just know good art!
      Give 4 or 5 children a small piece of colored tape. They must look at the
    art from a distance and then go and place the tape 'ribbon' next to the
    chosen piece. Then sit down...sometimes you need a time limit
    Then repeat for as much time as you have...not all get a turn every time.
    No one is allowed to talk to the 'critic,' or they get disqualified.
    It takes a few practice times, but they like this...peers choose and not
    teacher.
    The art work with most ribbons wins the contest.
    Teacher gets a turn too, and explains her/his choice.
    Older kids can explain too, but must use good art vocabulary.
    ' I like it because of the shape, color, line, and use the elements.
    It usually is the ones I would choose anyway.
