Update: These monthly zoom sessions have come to an end. Thanks to everyone who participated.
I will facilitate a formal virtual art critique group and art-making event on a monthly basis.
We meet on zoom the first Thursday of every month from 7-9 pm. This is free to the art community, thanks to funding from Lafayette College’s Community Based Teaching Program. Email me for a zoom link.

More details:
A formal critique will take place promptly at 7 pm and all artists are encouraged to participate by bringing their own pieces to be critiqued, and by contributing thoughtful feedback on each other’s work.
Following the critique, there will be an hour or more for the artists to work on whatever art projects they want to do. Bring your sketchbooks, paints, print-making supplies, and while you work, we can chat together about our art on zoom.
I will set up a still life on zoom which people can work from if they choose, but this is optional.
Art Critique Guide

What is working in this piece of art? What are the strongest elements of the drawing (painting, etc.)?
How could it be improved or pushed further? Suggestions for the artist to try?
Does the work remind you of other things you have experienced?
How has the artist suggested these moods, thoughts, or ideas?
What expressive language would you use to describe the qualities? (adjectives)
Does the artwork send a message or suggest a deeper meaning?
