Class 14: Critiquing

December 13, 2009  |  Classes, EMAC

“It’s a rare person who wants to hear what he doesn’t want to hear.” — Dick Cavett

Critique and Discussion: Ready? The harshest critique is from the harshest critic, you.

PLEASE NOTE: I cannot be in class today but there will be a substitute, Andres Zapata.
I apologize I cannot be there – if you would like a final critique with a grade I will set up times to meet with any or all of you this week, in the evenings.

Tuesday after 6, Wednesday after 8 and Thursday after 6.

You will not be marked down if you choose not to meet with me.

Perspective:
A good critique is based on a keen perspective – typically that of the critiquer. But a great critique is where you put yourself, through empathy or by trying, in someone else’s place and attempt to see it from their point of view.

Timothy Ferriss:  The conditions and antecedents that are the metrics of accomplishment and success.

Digital Wheel art
“Digital Wheel Art is the best example I’ve seen in a long time of how technology can enable and empower personal and artistic expression. It proves, in a truly elegant and emotional way, that physical limitation need not be a barrier to creative expression.” – Nancy Hechinger (Adjunct Professor, New York University)
