Photography & Art Crit + Feedback Sheets

Four critique structures for photography and art: self-assessment, peer crit, teacher feedback and a group crit protocol. GCSE to FE, with SEND support sheet.

The crit is the habit that separates art-school practice from school art — work improves fastest when makers learn to see their own work through other eyes and to give evidence-based response rather than praise or verdicts. This pack turns that culture into four reusable structures.

Included (print PDF + fully editable PowerPoint):

Looking at My Own Work — structured self-assessment
Responding to a Peer’s Work — evidence-first peer critique
Feedback Record — teacher feedback with a student-response section (closes the loop for moderation evidence)
Group Crit Protocol — a timed five-step structure where the maker stays silent until step four
Scaffolded support version with sentence starters (SEND/EAL)
Teacher notes on building a crit culture

The rule that runs through every sheet: if you can’t point at it, you can’t say it.

British Dyslexia Association style guidance throughout. Written by a university photography educator who has run ten years of crits.
