critterique

My critique group consists of Alex, Carrie, Paula, and I. We gave each other lots of both positive and constructive feedback and talked for over half an hour.
Some things I left thinking about:
-number of boards, 3 or 4?
-color i use for the others, especially crayon melting piece
-stick to nature theme
-concept of threes with flowers
-image on sprinkles be careful
-crayon piece draw in tree?
-man made vs. nature like
-be careful of colors
-steel will bring together, focus time on that as well maybe 3 wood pieces and steel instead of 4 or 4 and steel

workspace and processes.

Windows, quotes, wall space, tables, art supplies, nic nacks, pictures, travel souvenirs, chairs, and plants all show up in the majority of the shown studios. I think when trying to be creative it is important to bring in elements from outside. Whether that be outside your studio or outside meaning nature. Windows, plants, and animals help to liven the studio. Things such as tables, supplies, a chair, and wall space are necessities for an art studio to me. Other items like pictures, quotes, and souvenir help to inspire and boost creative juices. Developing a method is tricky. I think setting aside certain amounts of time for certain pieces, playing with eliminating certain materials or colors, and having something you do each time you enter and leave the studio are all ways that can help one develop a method that works for them. Developing a space I think is easier.  The location should be based on where the artist feels most inspired, most productive, and most comfortable. Other elements depend on the person. Hanging past work, favorite work, favorite quotes, and meaningful pictures is what is most important for me to have.
