Drawing, Painting, SculptureArtists need feedback to grow, but most critiques swing between harsh judgment and vague praise. This class offers a clear, structured way to see, think about, and talk about art—without the sting.The class builds on a classic four-part critique method: Description, Analysis, Interpretation, and Judgment, followed by Reflection. Students practice close observation and clear expression, learning to engage in dialogue that strengthens the artist’s process. Guided discussions and short assignments deepen perception and help translate insight into stronger visual choices.We’ll look closely at a range of artworks, including your own if you choose to share, and practice giving feedback that is specific, respectful, and genuinely useful.Prerequisite: Beginning Drawing, Painting, or Sculpture at least twice, or two or more full drawing, painting, or sculpture courses at the Seattle Artist League.
Previous critique students are invited to retake the course at no cost. Contact us for your registration coupon—we’d love to have you back in the conversation.
