I played a critique game recently which worked out well. I made up over
90 index cards, each with a different word, type of line, shape, color, etc.
Then each kid got a ceratin amount of cards. I divided the students into
groups. I would put up a piece of work and the students had thirty seconds
to "throw down" as many cards possible. After the time was up, the teams had
to explain their index cards which described the art work. A judge then
decided if the group's reasoning was justified. For every reasonable answer,
the group received a point. I was pleasantly surprised to see the students
get so excited about art work and be able to describe their rational.
