Excellent Critique Friday!

Moving Forward-
1.  Continue to document your journey in your investigative workbooks.  Remember to balance your book pages with sketches, reflection, process, images (photographs) and research.  Your book should be closely connected to the work being done in the studio.  Research should include artists with reflections and notes about how they inform and inspire your work.  Remember, to include what you notice around you, and how this influences your work?  Ask, yourself,  "How does the context in which I am living influence my work?"  ( Does what you eat influence the kind of food containers you make?)  Are their certain issues, or stories you would like to tell using art as the medium? 

Please take a close look at the attached video, it is and example example of the role of context and culture and how it affects the artist as a maker!  We will discuss and review this video in class.
