CritCards: Art criticism cards to start the conversation about works of art

Each set of 18 cards focuses on sight (Looks Like), touch (Feels Like) and emotion (I Feel Like). Inside each pack students will find 3 sets of six cards, each with a descriptor word. Under the word is a pronunciation guide, definition and synonyms. A visual of the word is also depicted to support and enhance the word’s meaning.

On the back of each card an artwork was chosen (painting, drawing or sculpture) as an exemplar of the chosen word. A brief description/history of the artwork is also provided. The cards are numbered to allow for another level of communication. Students can use the number of the card if they are having trouble pronouncing the descriptor word.
