Critique Etiquette

The Critic:
|
The Artist
Be Willing to Grow
No one is perfect all the time. Even if an artist has reached dizzying career heights , there is always room to grow.
Feel free to ask questions
If the artist isn’t clear about a comment made during critique, questions should be posed that will help the responder elaborate on the comments.
Don't take it personally
Remember the critique is about the work you created- a product, not about you –the person. It is important to separate your own emotions from your art.
Take notes for future reference:
It is helpful to record comments from a group critique so the artist can decide in the comfort of his studio what might be acted on or ignored.

Critique Questioning
Think about the way you state your questions or interpretations. Here are some examples of phrase adjustments:
“I don’t like this” say “Perhaps we can improve this”
“This doesn’t look good” say “Something about this isn’t working the way you intended.”
“Do this” say “Maybe try this”
“Change this” say “Experiment with this approach”
“I wouldn’t have done that” say “This other method might help you more”
