About this course:
New NYC Crit Club course!
The Crit Assignment: The Body & Representation will consist of 6 class Zoom meetings, lead by renowned artist and educator, Clarity Haynes. In this course, artists will have the opportunity to present their work twice to the class. In the first round of critiques, artists will receive feedback from Clarity and peers. Based on the discussion within each crit, Clarity will provide each artist with an individualized assignment. The assignment is intended to challenge and help reinvigorate each artist’s approach and artistic practice. All artists will have two weeks to respond to the assignment before their second critique.
The Crit Assignment is an excellent course is you are seeking constructive feedback and fresh perspectives on your work. It is especially fruitful if you are needing help out of creative block! This course will encourage you to discover new materials, seek new methods of making and dive into new conceptual ventures. During this course, artists will receive a visit from a Guest Artist, Portia Munson, who will share an Artist Talk and be available for Q&A!
“The Body & Representation” is the overarching theme of this course designed by Clarity. All artists who are interested in exploring this theme are welcome to enroll, whether you make work that is 2D or 3D, or work within figuration to abstraction.
