Critique

Each student will present their work to the class
at least once during the semester. The student
presenting work can determine some of the
parameters for her/his critique.
S/he may either opt to introduce the work before
the discussion begins or s/he may chose to remain
quiet, letting the class explore the work's
meaning without the artist's input. The class
will deeply investigate the meaning of each
artwork within a generative and consensus
building discourse.

Students are encouraged to fully consider all
aspects of the work in question, to take nothing
for granted, and to find clear but
non-hierarchical modes of expressing their
discoveries. Sometimes this takes the form of a
comparison between the student's intent and the
actual meaning produced by the work, with the
goal of helping each student close the gap
between intent and result.
