Critiquing the Critique
With Jean Marie Casbarian
The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic. –– Oscar Wilde
This mini-workshop is an exploration into the value of objective and subjective analysis and assessment of the critique itself. A close and holistic observation of our artwork not only expands our understanding of our creative work, practice and the audience who reacts to it, but also serves as an invaluable tool in developing a healthy relationship with criticism. This workshop aims to present a variety of critique strategies that we, as a class, will then critique. We will examine the many ways in which we might exercise our critical literacy, both in and outside of the art / literary world, as we constantly grapple with forming meaningful opinions that shape our everyday lives.
