Tired of same old critiques

Critiques can get tedious and predictable for students and faculty alike. So try some of these:

--Articulate your aesthetic and demonstrate how your work lives by it.

--Write an artist statement about your work, and keep critical responses focused within that.

--What were your goals in the piece? Focus discussion on how well you reached them.

--What demands or expectations does your work make on the viewer?

--What does your work give back to the viewer for the work the put in?

--What possibilities  does this work open up for future work?

--How would the work be resolved if time and money were not real issues?

--Explain why or why not this is work you stand behind.
