Beyond Good, Bad and "I like it": A New Take on Critique
Isn't
it
enough
that
"I
like
it"?
For
many
professors,
this
is
a
very
familiar
response
to
their
beginning
critiques.
For
many
students,
the
"Crit"
invokes
fear
and
dread.
"Is
my
work
good?”
"Is
it
bad?”
"What
do
other
people
think
of
me
and
my
work?"
As
facilitators
of
the
critique,
how
can
we
help
students
to
discover
the
value
in
discussing
their
work
and
that
of
their
peers?
How
can
the
experience
of
critique
help
students
create
an
understanding
of
their
process
and
their
artistic
practice?
How
can
we
get
them
to
internalize
serious
ideas
while
still
using
humor
and
making
it
fun?
How
can
we
get
students
to
be
more
engaged
and
responsible
for
their
own
discoveries?
How
do
we
help
them
"find
their
voice"?
What
about
art
history
classes?
Can
we
use
the
concept
of
critique
to
engage
students
to
become
better
writers
and
thinkers?
This
session
invites
innovative
critique
strategies
for
use
in
both
studio
and
art
history
classes.
What
new
techniques
for
critique
have
worked
in
your
classes?
How
can
we
make
students
excited
about
critique?
How
can
the
foundation
year
build
the
groundwork
for
a
lifetime
of
introspection,
reflection
and
most
importantly,
artistic
growth?
The FATE Conference "Tectonic Shifts" will be held March 25-28, 2015 at the Herron School of Art and Design in Indianapolis. Proposals should be sent by July 1 to Susan Altman by email: saltman@middlesexcc.edu.
