Overview

Practical and relevant approaches to giving more nuanced critique. Let’s Talk about Critique examines how critique in art education has evolved, how it falls short, and what else it could be. Elissa Armstrong and Mariah Doren contextualize current practices by discussing the history of critique, the field of education, and the characteristics of today’s students. Then they offer suggestions for ways to have more open, inclusive, and dynamic classroom conversations about art and design. The core of the book consists of critique format descriptions, written by experienced educators, that provide a wide variety of thoughtful approaches that can be readily adapted and used.

Reviews

"""Let’s Talk about Critique includes a variety of ways to look at and talk about work, pushing beyond the stale traditions and enlivening the possibilities for what can happen in discussing art. Armstrong and Doren provide a very thorough history and critique of the critique, as well as solutions to the inadequacies of the past traditions. The book meets an important need, evolving the critique from an authority/judgment model to a dialogue where all voices are respected and content meaning is addressed."" -- Susan Waters-Eller, Maryland Institute College of Art “In Let’s Talk about Critique, Armstrong and Doren make a compelling case for the necessity of different studio critiques within contemporary higher education. This book is an extensive and diverse catalogue of innovative studio critiques, explores the history of the studio critique, and discusses recent studies on Generation Z.” -- Roger Rothman, Bucknell University"
