I found the group "gallery style" review of all the container projects very helpful and interesting. I loved seeing all the final products -- not just those from my section. This was a really good use of time as it gave students the ability to see the range of ideas, levels of craftmanship.
With regard to our in-section crit, I found the other students' comments very helpful. I was given suggestions regarding the lettering and how I could apply it on transparent paper to create a more professional and clean look. I think the crits, themselves, are actually getting better. The first we had seemed to be an effort on the part of a few (not many) to spew negative comments in an effort to be noticed. This was unfortunate. On the other hand, it is clear that we all have to develop thick skin and try not to take things personally -- that's just part of the process.
i couldn't agree more (about crits and thicker skin) - it's not easy...but i'm glad to see that you are seeing these steps in a positive way. please post more photos of your work and process...thanks.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion on the crit. It was a great way to see everyones projects up close and individually. Some of the comments were extremely rude to say the least but I guess as an artist you need to learn how to take the bad comments gracefully.
ReplyDeletelet's see some more work :)
