CRITIQUE

Answer the Following Questions:


1.   Which projects did you review? “It’s a Black Thang” by Emanuel Williams, “Flower Power” By Jesica Marchetti, and “How Bizarre..How Bizarre” by Debbie Russell

 
2. Why did you select the Exhibit you critiqued? I chose Debbie Russell’s exhibit because I loved the theme. Surrealism is not an artistic movement that is explored that often and I was really curious on how she was going to approach a whole exhibit on the movement

 
3. What challenges did you face in writing the critique article and how did you overcome them?
 I felt it was very hard to critique the work because I am not an expert in this field. I had just created an exhibit myself! Most critics have years of experience in the field, and know what to look for. I felt a little uncomfortable judging my peer's work  because I knew mine was being judged at the same time!

 4. How do you feel about critiquing your peers work?As I said in the previous question, I felt a little uncomfortable. I tried to remain fair in my critique and judge the work rather then the personal ideas. Yet, I liked writing the article because it gave me a chance to explore my peers works and see how they approached the project. I thought most of the works were extremely innovated and original and I found it hard to pick which one I wanted to focus on!

 
5. Would you like to read the critique your peers wrote about your Art Curation Project? Yes, I’d be interested in seeing how my peers viewed my exhibit. My peers would act as my viewers if my exhibits was really, so they would judge whether it would be successful or not. Also, people are by nature curious and every person wants to know what is said about them, whether it is good or bad. That is why students are infatuated with grades.

 6. On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your finished article and why? I'd rate my article a 8. I thought the article was well written and it made sure to comment on both things I liked and didn't like. I don't think it had the wit that most critics had, but I think it was fair and it was enjoyable to read. 


 7. Did you enjoy working on this project?
 I enjoyed creating my exhibit more then I did writing a critique on someone else’s. I felt it was really hard to critique someone’s creativity. If I didn’t know how much work went into creating the project it may have been easier to write the review but because I knew how difficult and demanding the project was, it was very hard for my to say anything negative about the person’s ideas.
