Seven days in the world

This week you're reading an excerpt Seven Days in the World. On your blog write a short personal response to what you've read. Any revelations? Surprises? Can you imagine yourself participating in a crit like the one described here?

When hearing about California Institute of the Arts and how they critique each other is very intense and I don’t think that I would be able to sit through that. I think most of those students would be upset after hearing what others have to say about there work that they probably have worked hours on. At an art school maybe student should like to hear what other have to say about there work, but here I don’t think I would want to. This reading seemed to be personal when here about the critics. This school for the arts is very intense and seems to be helpful to learning students in a professional way then most schools would. Personally I don’t think that this would be the best type of way for me to learn and change my ways as an artist but if other feel that it is helpful then that’s good for them. But maybe if it was more relaxed instead of telling them straight forward that their work sucks! Being critiqued is a lot different then actual criticism and getting criticism from something you have been working on for weeks is not a great ending to a final project. This might cause students to become upset and feel down about themselves, which can cause more things then just being upset with themselves.
