purpleponyartI'll be catching up on last semester well into summer. I wrote this post and made it private to edit later. Later is today! I finished off FIBR420 with a panel critique.
The panel critique was nerve-wracking. I planned it all out, even the outfit. I missed my third year panel critique due to COVID-19, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I didn't need to worry. Fibre, being Fibre, meant it was a chill and casual conversation with my instructors. The panel critiques for some majors, such as the design stream, can be super intense. One of my friends, a drawing major who graduated years ago, had a nasty panel critique in one class that left her super angry. I get it--especially when you’re a young person, instructors feel they can talk to you a certain way. With maturity on my side, instructors can’t really do that.
I blissfully drew Thursday’s first time slot; every session after me ran late. I even stayed later. There were three areas for critique with the idea while one was being set up, another could be taken down whilst the last area held an active session. My critique started about five minutes late and ran five minutes over. I even stayed later than expected to help the next classmate set up. She had a very long piece and needed an extra pair of hands plus scissors.
Everything I did this semester was paper-based and I’ll continue the material theme. Barb, who I have had for many classes now, gave me great advice. More art, less craft. In some ways FIBR420 felt like an in-between phase--the second movie in a trilogy where stuff happens, but the story neither starts or ends.
I presented five works, one of which was hanging in the main mall, so it's not included in the picture below. Stay tuned for more info about them.
