The role of a critique is depicted as a terrifying day where artists will be judged. However, I feel like since students in our art class know each other so well and for so long, our critiques will be less stressful. Our first critique was very helpful for me towards my final project. Whenever I get stuck or uninspired I go to my peers or Becki :-) for advice. It was nice to have a structured time for feedback during class rather than trying to find people at random times and disrupting them from their work.
According to this chapter and your past experiences, how can you get the most out of a critique of your own work?
I feel like I can get the most out of a critique if I explain my goal for its meaning in the end and explaining why I have what I have so far. This way my peers can understand the angle at which I am trying to come at and help me with more ideas. Taking notes on their feedback is also helpful because I know I won't remember everything they suggest. This way I can also sort out what feedback I want to use and what feedback I disagree with.
How can you be a helpful participant in your classmates' critiques?
Asking my peers questions about their artwork to really make them think why and how is a helpful way to communicate in critiques. This way it's also easier for me to understand what's going through their minds. It is crucial to give feedback during critiques. In my opinion, nothing is ever perfect if know one else has shared their opinion. It doesn't matter if the artist does anything with the feedback, it's just important that they hear it. I believe that hearing feedback helps artists to grow. I think that giving specific and kind feedback is the most effective way to critique
