The crit

Feb. 2, 2011

Today we had our critique for the first personal project. Brian tried a new method of us working in groups and the great thing about it was that it took half the time. I really liked it because we were able to get good feedback with our projects and we wrote our suggestions to each other. I think it worked so much better and now we can look back and think about the persons ideas and insights into the project. I also think that it makes the crit more personal and you are not so on display with the whole class. The feedback is still there and probably more to the point because it is written.
I feel like the work on the Oliver head turned out okay. I would have liked the hair to be more like his and I also think the next time I will do the jaw line more rounded and sagging. I think I accomplished what I had visioned and that is good for me. I am improving everyday and always I have a work in progress. The funny thing is that my paintings and my ceramics are starting to mesh and I am just now realizing the connections that are there.
I am going to get started on the mugs. I am procrastinating for some reason. It could be the weather, drab, cold, and windy. I will be here this weekend and I will make some awesome mugs. I am already giving them away before they are made. LOL     A good weekend in ceramics coming up!!!!
