Drawing: FINAL DAY OF CRIT? Not for ALL of the classes. Make sure you have your PAPERS worked on and the final changes made to your artwork.

Agnes Martin – One of my favorites… Take a moment and have a conversation with your neighbor about these 4 works. What are your THOUGHTS, RESPONSES, REACTIONS, and EDUCATED CRITIQUES? 2 minute Conversation… GO!

GOALS:

  1. 3.5 Evaluate and defend the manner in which subject matter, symbols, and images are used.
  2. 2.4 compare different points of view regarding composition and meaning in artwork.

You have HOPEFULLY taken a lot of learning and experience from the critiques so far. What is the one thing that you have learned about the workings of drawings, the building of a composition, and the making of QUALITY ART? Number ONE thing you walk away with and HOW will you put that gained knowledge to your future works?
