7. Facilitate a class critique session, where students provide constructive feedback on each group's artwork. Encourage students to consider how effectively the elements of visual arts were used and how well the intended message was conveyed.

8. Conclude the lesson by summarizing the key points discussed and emphasizing the importance of understanding and utilizing the elements of visual arts in creating meaningful and impactful artwork.
