The purpose of the study is to identify the effect of pedagogical art criticism method on students' critical thinking skills. The study was conducted in a secondary state school. The participants were 45 8th grade students (18 girls and 27 boys). Of the quantitative research methods, quasi experimental design was used, and the data were collected through critical thinking scale as pre-test and post-test. In the experimental group, the course was taught with the pedagogical art criticism method while it was taught with the visual arts syllabus in the control group. Our results revealed that there was no significant difference in the analysis, inferencing and explanation tests; however, there was a significant difference in evaluation, interpretation and self-regulation tests. As a result, it was observed that the students who were taught through the pedagogical art criticism method increased their critical thinking skills more than those who were taught through the visual arts syllabus.
