Theme: Critique as Collaboration

How does critique fit into a student-centered learning environment? How is critique being incorporated into art making that has become hybrid and relies on collaboration? What is the role of the teacher in a critique? Critique has a rich history in the education of artists, writers, musicians, architects and designers. What can we learn from how critiques are conducted in other disciplines? This session will situate critique as a form of community and relationship building. Contributions should respond to the role of critique as a means of collaboration. A student panel will encourage the participants to rethink pedagogy in light of hybrid practices and of a learning landscape that emphasizes shared expertise and team effort.
