Our First Meeting: January 13th

*
1. Can you read Leah Hyams' Guide to Critiques. You can download it from the Art Docs on the right. I will send you a copy by email before the class meets.

2. Be thinking about and write out what is the one thing you would like to have done by the end of the 3 months in this group. Perhaps it is getting into the studio more often or longer. Perhaps it is to work on finishing up a few pieces to submit to a show, gallery, website. Perhaps it is to activate your artwork more or calm your paintings down or use different colors, more darks, use more variety, solidify or unify your work. Perhaps you would like to work on line, shape, texture, rhythm, balance, or unity.... I think it would be helpful to write down a specific goal you are interested in working on for the specific time we are together. Up to you... (I will NOT collect these. Totally for your benefit)

3. Bring one piece of art you would like us to critique. I do not think it has to be finished, but a finished piece is fine too. You decide....

4. Be thinking about what makes a painting successful.
