-p48 each student has set up camp. This is so true for me in a crit, having my own necessary means to focus. Everyone is listening and respectful to their classmates, but the room is full of activity of the individuals.
-The notion of falling apart in a crit as part of the process of learning is very true. Josh starts out not knowing exactly what he wants to say-He even starts to get tired and dejected from trying so hard to explain himself until he finally figures out what he wants to know about and gains a better grasp of what he is actually doing with his work when he can finally verbalize it.
-p54- Reminds me about our class conversation about whether work should speak for itself. Mary Kelly says "never go to a wall text...learn to read art for yourself."
-I agree that sometimes as an artist you don't know what you have done and other peoples comments help you understand your own work on a conscious level.
-p55- I think I need to learn to be put on the spot better so I don't get defensive- I want to do as Jones says " develop a thick skin and see criticism as rhetoric rather than personal attack."
-Notion of being critical of yourself not being harsh, but having a heightened awareness that allows you to not simply make everything cliche. Criticality is not a negative word.
-p 67 "have that mysterious blend of complete commitment to your decisions and total openness to reconsider everything." That should be our goal as artists.
-p72 beauty in art is sometimes found in the struggle to make it
-It is interesting that the author found the crit to be a piece of performance art in its own right
