“The Art of the Critique”

When we ask others to evaluate our artwork, we often hear comments that range from “I like it” to “That’s horrible.” Neither of those types of comments benefits the artist. During November’s CAW meeting, the program will focus on how to make critique sessions helpful for the artist.

We will briefly review compositional principles, work on our “artistic vocabulary” and present guidelines to make critique a comfortable and meaningful experience. Larry Hamel-Lambert, an Associate Professor Emeritus of Visual Communication at Ohio University, has years of experience guiding students through the critique process.

• Please bring one piece of your artwork to the meeting. Smaller pieces preferred, framed or unframed.
