About This Course
This is a special opportunity to work with Loren Erdrich - limited space available!
Artists in the Group Critique course will meet via Zoom and present their work to the group and faculty member, Loren Erdrich. This intimate class offers each artist the opportunity to present artworks twice to the group. The first opportunity to present is time for artists to answer curated questions promoted by faculty - Loren Erdrich. Each artist receives two 30 minute critiques with faculty and class. They are offered a prompt and a suggestion to follow up with on their second critique which is spaced 3 weeks apart. Each class will be recorded for artists to review artist talks and presentations; in addition the chat will always be saved for those wanting to review notes from their critique.
The dialogue around the critiques is research and peer driven. All artists in the group play a valuable role in giving feedback and suggestions that will respectively help each artist presenting. Artists are expected to come prepared for their critique / presentation with essential questions about their work and thinking to help frame the dialogue for them. Artists are welcome to show works in progress, finished work, painting, drawing, video stills, textiles, mixed media, sculpture and video.
