Learning to give critique
December 9, 2009
Creating Art and talking about are truly two different ways of seeing; the theory of right and left brain thinking is matter-of-fact. As an Artist it takes some effort to ”switch brains” and reflect on the processes and progress of work in order to accompany my Art with writing on this blog, so I’m really impressed with the mature quality of the critiques given by students at Olive Stevens Elementary School of paintings on their school Art blog every month.
In collaboration with Oxide Gallery, the Denton school has started a blog where students - or anyone else actually - can give a critique of a different work of Art each month. This month the comments regard the recently finished Sounds of Silence, which is also at the gallery.

Very Nice! It reminds me of early winter snowfalls when it’s kind of wet and packs easily. It’s the time when kids make snowmen. Later the snow is to dry. This is the time when we dragged out the snowmobile and it would get stuck in the soft packy snow and in the forest it would fall from the trees down your neck —- burrrr — but this phase didn’t last long before the weather got colder. I think you captured for me that short time of the year (Back in Ontario) with this painting.

Wow, that’s great, thanks - Sounds of Silence seems to have brought forth more memories and struck a few emotional chords than any painting I’ve done in a long time. Maybe more winter scenes…
