Lesson Plan

• Describe the key criteria for self‑evaluation of artwork.
• Apply a systematic evaluation checklist to identify strengths and areas for improvement.
• Develop an action plan to edit and refine artwork based on feedback and criteria.
• Reflect on the artistic process and articulate changes for future projects.

• Projector or interactive whiteboard
• Printed self‑assessment checklist
• Exemplar artwork prints
• Sketchbooks, coloured pencils / watercolours
• Digital camera or scanner
• Peer‑review feedback forms

Begin with a quick gallery walk of student pieces, prompting them to notice first impressions. Recall the IGCSE assessment criteria discussed last week and explain that today they will learn a structured way to evaluate and edit their own work. Success will be measured by completing the checklist and producing a brief action plan.

1. Gallery walk & initial viewing (5') – students step back, view peers' work and note overall impact.
2. Review assessment criteria (5') – teacher revisits the grid; students copy key points onto their checklist.
3. Guided self‑evaluation (10') – using the checklist, list three strengths and three weaknesses for their own piece.
4. Evidence of intention & action plan (10') – write a brief statement linking visual choices to the brief and decide specific edits.
5. Peer feedback (10') – exchange work and complete a structured feedback form.
6. Revision time (15') – make selected edits, document changes, and repeat a quick self‑check.
7. Whole‑class reflection (5') – each student shares one change made and why.

Summarise how the evaluation cycle strengthens artistic decisions and aligns with exam expectations. Students complete an exit ticket stating one improvement they will carry forward. For homework, they create a revised sketch incorporating at least two of today’s editing techniques.
