Visual Arts Critique

50


50 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Feb 07, 2018

The only way to make good art is to learn how to make better art.

I'd love to talk to you about your artwork! This starts with you having a basic idea of WHAT it is you're trying to accomplish, and what you need help with, and being open to feedback so you can grow. The critique process can then progress in a number of ways.

Here’s what a ‘critique’ is not: it is NOT about being 'critical. It is not my ‘opinion’ on your artwork. That’s not the point. It’s definitely NOT about me making any type of judgement about your artwork—good or bad.

It’s just feedback, geared specifically to you, to help you along the ongoing journey of developing YOUR best work! It offers up ways to think about your goals, and offer insights, to help you grow. It is about being willing to absorb the good, and find room for improvement, and embracing both! Sometimes, it's just talking it out with someone new, who has a trained eye, and who you can ask questions. Nothing scary or intimidating.

Before our session I’ll spend time looking at your work, as well as any supplemental materials you'd like to provide, and requests for specific feedback you'd like me to consider. Anything you want to give me, or info you'd like to share! We'll then meet on the phone or Skype and have a conversation about the strengths of your artwork: both idea and technique, your goals, and explore possible next steps for continued improvement and/or idea development. Afterwards, I'll provide you with a critique resource packet and some notes from our session. We can also discuss art marketing, professionalism and career options if you wish. Multiple / follow-up sessions can be scheduled if you want to delve deeper, or receive feedback on new work.

This is about you, and your needs. I’m here to lend fresh eyes, be a sounding board, offer up some different perspectives, perhaps.

My hope is you will leave confident of your strengths, with fresh eyes for new possibilities, and excited to make more work! A session is typically between 30-45 minutes.

Training & Qualifications


I have an MFA from a top 5 university in my medium and have been a self employed, practicing artist for 20 years. I have exhibited nationally, completed many commissions and individual sales, published articles about my work in professional journals, and am internationally recognized artist in the field of ceramics.

If you learn one thing in graduate school, it's how to think about and assess your own work. You learn that by talking about your own work, and that of others. It's truly one of the most valuable tools for pushing your work forward; and, something that's hard to come by once you're out of school!

Availability & Preferences


Flexible. However, please note, appointments have to be scheduled in advance.

Trading Preference: I prefer being paid in simbi
