criticism project blog

1. Which projects did you review?

• "Nature's Beauty" By: Emily Hassler
• "The Queen City: Buffalo NY Inspired Art" By: Joe Frangione
• "Welcome to Wonderland: Nature in Instillation Art" By: Linda Baez

2. Why did you select the Exhibit you critiqued?

I selected Linda's exhibit because the pieces she chose were absolutely beautiful, & really caught me eye.

3. What challenges did you face in writing the critique article and how did you overcome them?

I'm a pretty non-confrontational person & have a hard time telling anyone anything that may hurt their feelings, or criticizing anyone in any way, so I was afraid this would be difficult. But when I was looking through the projects it became clear that I would only have good things to say about  my classmates work.

4. How do you feel about critiquing your peers work?

It was interesting to see everyone's choices in subject & topic, & to see a bunch of pieces of art I had never known existed. 

5. Would you like to read the critique your peers wrote about your Art Curation Project?

Yes. I hope that if someone critiqued my project they enjoyed it.

6. On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your finished article and why?

I would rate my article around a 7.  This is because it is honest, fair, & full of praise, but is a little bit shorter than requested.

7. Did you enjoy working on this project?

Yes I found all aspects of this project interesting & enjoyable.  Like I said, I was nervous about critiquing someone else's work, & also seeing what they thought of mine, but all in all it was fun. A lot of work to put the projects together, but worth it in the end.
