Gallery Presentations Feedback
11/4/11
• Great team work and collaboration, a hallmark of school programs• Good inquiry techniques involved your audience• Good follow up questions, e.g.: what do you see that makes you
say that? Shows you are listening, validates the speaker, deepens the discussion
• Good paraphrasing: “So you’re saying that …”• Good use of call and response• Good tableaux!
GREAT WORK TEAMS!

• Stories must be really brief—just the basic information• Not a good idea to refer to outside information e.g. a book that you
think is popular with young people (what if your group hasn’t read it?)
• Not a good idea to talk about another artwork that is not the one they are looking at
• Remember: we are training you for school programs, so practice your gallery sessions with that audience as a focus unless we say otherwise
• All in all excellent gallery presentations!
