Painting critique with Bonnie Dhein

This class begins with a lecture on how to plan your project for optimal success and what steps every artist needs to take. We will talk about why critiquing is both a learning tool and an aid in raising the level of your artwork. Bring an unfinished or finished painting that you would like to have critiqued. There will be an oral discussion on the strategy used to analyze, describe, and interpret your artwork. Each artwork will be evaluated according to its specific success and weaknesses. There will be a Q&A after regarding art-related information, e.g. composition, color, subject matter, etc.
