Many of you created some very successful work over the summer. Ideally, you can take the ideas from your summer projects that made sense, and apply what you learned in making those successful projects while you are creating the work for the first nine week period.
Our critique session went pretty well, but there was still a number of students who seemed to lack the focus necessary for a successful critique. I also noticed some timid comments and some unsure explanations for why the work was made. One of my goals for each of you, beyond your creating high quality art, is that you are able to confidently discuss art. Take the critiques seriously, and don't be afraid to give your classmates the feedback they deserve. We will all learn much faster if we are honest with one another about what we create.
Take the time to brainstorm the ways in which you can take ideas from your most successful projects from the summer, and combine those ideas with the given theme for the nine week period. It makes great sense to start with something that has already been seen as "successful" by your peers.
