OPEN CRITIQUE WITH VERONIQUE ROUSSEAU
Join County Arts member Veronique Rousseau and fellow visual artists for a facilitated monthly open critique session!
A key process in formal art education is the critique session – i.e. a focused discussion in which one’s peers offer feedback and comments on either a completed artwork or a work-in-progress. It offers the artist the opportunity to develop the ability to discuss one’s intentions and processes to an educated audience, as well as to hear viewers’ interpretation of their work. When done within a positive atmosphere, the ‘crits’ session can be a powerful tool to improve one’s artistic practice.
Participants in this new monthly series will have the opportunity to share their visual artwork with peers and receive feedback in an affirming environment. Time permitting, the session will be followed by a discussion on a topic relevant to art theory or practice.
These sessions are free for County Arts Members, for non-members the cost is $10. Preregister for sessions below:
Please arrive early to set-up your work. If you end up not being able to make it, please send our Programs Manager, Stacey Sproule an email at stacey@countyarts.ca.
