Warm-Up:

Critiquing the work of others is a large portion of the Media Arts curriculum for the State of Maryland. How should we run critiques so that they are meaningful to you?

Today's Agenda

  1. Warm-Up (See above)
  2. Due to the performances scheduled for this week, Tuesday & Thursday are likely to be "all major days." Plan accordingly so you aren't wasting time in here.
  3. Critiques
    1. We cannot scrap critiques entirely. Art without criticism is empty and meaningless. (Even if it wasn't part of the official curriculum.)
    2. We CAN, however, change how we do critiques.
    3. True discussion needs your participation. We are at this stage because too many of you have stopped participating. Take ownership of the critique process or it will be owned by others.
  4. With the rubrics for two homework assignments and two projects now finalized, everyone here has something to do that isn't YouTube.
