Live Audience Feedback for Creative Work
At Foothill High School, in June Abrams’ Ceramics Class, students are frequently asked to share about their progress and process in all of their creative pieces. Students take the time to reflect on the work, their challenges, and their inspirations for each of their projects. For the end of the semester, all of the students are required to present their work to the entire class for constructive feedback. Mrs. Abrams feels that this is an essential practice to develop for all of her students.
Students are asked to talk about what inspired them to create their projects, details on their design choices, and tell the story of how the artwork came about. Mrs. Abrams believes that this storytelling component of her class gives students the opportunities to self-reflect on their learning, as well as make connections with their audience.
The rest of the class is then asked to contribute to the individual presentations by inquiring on design choices, as well as giving feedback on construction, color, glaze, and more. This healthy conversation between students contributes to their confidence and inspiration in all of their creative avenues. One student shared: “I love how everyone gets to showcase their work... It inspires and challenges me to do more.”
