Of the Barrett‘s Criticism Model and Ki Hadjar Dewantara’s Taxonomy, student level thinking and learning steps in photo appreciation can be grouped into three common categories. Level one, student can identify subject matter, denotation, medium, and form. Level two, student can apply principal design, element photographs, and connotation of photographs (rasa-affective aspect). Level three, student can compare and contrast photographs to identify the styles of photographer. I recommended questioning strategies to formulate art criticism questions within the hierarchical categories of Ki Hadjar Dewantara’s Taxonomy.
