high school crit (i feel so cool for saying that) was dumb and the person ever saying anything was to teacher.. hopefully art school is a bit more enlighting
This is so true! I once had this lecturer during sem 1, she would ask you to redo and redo and redo until she's satisfied with the artwork she wouldn't care whether you've tried your best or how much materials you'll waste. and she had this crazy rule during colour studies that we could only use COBALT BLUE only COBALT BLUE is allowed. she would even fail you if she sees a single dot on your artwork she's insane!!!
Just missed my group crit, for a not so great piece of work.
Genuinely so happy as my tutor on the last crit picked up a studets design, turned it over, put it under the table, and just asked to move on. A little more than awkward...
I had a teacher who looked somewhat like Hugh Laurie, which of course he took to the extreme, with a fake British accent and the stubble and jerk-off attitude from House, MD.
One of the worst critiques I had was when a classmate had to point out which pieces had the worst technique; he stared at my piece for the longest 3 minutes of my life, and then my teacher said "I don't know why this is so hard for you when that thing you are staring at is horrible!"
im in Highschool art 2 and my teacher is crazy (tho i love her) she'll take the brush/pencile or whatever and will juss do what ever she wants to it and useually messes it up!
We had a teacher who was overly cautious with his critiques to the point where most of the times, you can tell that he's just trying to find something nice to say about your work. It's not that bad until you get your grades at the end of the semester and you realized that, despite all the nice things he said, you still got a pretty horrible grade.
I'm curious how your petty graphic design issues translate to a discourse on art. Graphic design is to the art world like a thief in the night, hiding in the shadows awaiting the next treasure to steal in order to sustain their own existance. On the other hand if it wasn't for all the graphic designers out there, artists might actually have design billboards, and cheesy pop album covers again. My bad, and don't fret the real world is much more easy going then all horrible crits you endured.
I totally agree with the silence part. I absolutely hate it when people dont say anything or the famous line "its nice". I go to Moore College of Art by the way.
haha! I love this so much. I know its an old video, but I just found it. I am an art student and can relate so much to this. I hate critique days. Art profs, and classmates can be brutal. thanks for the laugh. I don't have any great stories to share right now, but I might after this week is over. This is portfolio week, and I'm really stressed. I have to finish my ceramics portfolio before class critique on Thursday. Everything is still in the kiln waiting to be unloaded :|.
i'm in an arts high school an one time I was presenting my photoshop project and at the end no one said anything and one person clapped. I always make sure to go first now so that I can get it over with and I also try and be as engaged as possible when someone else is presenting so that hopefully one day everyone else will be interested in mine.
Ahahahahahaha *laughing shamely* I know i get bad critiques all the time..and i'm a person that really is a proud a**, i cant stand them, and most people say i'll have problems with that in the futur
Lol i had this one teacher named sharon delucca at risd pre-college, she assigned to us a gauche project that would take 2 hours minimum. Anywyas, everyone stayed up late, and 2 kids fell asleep right before she started (we had all been up for 3 days straight) and instead of grading the work the two kids had spent ll night doing she kicked them out of the class for the day...and failed them...(i got away with a b+)
I had Gareth Jones at RISD. He did say that. (throw it away in trash somewhere else) - He has also said, "Yes, it is interesting. But so is an overturned dog on the side of the road." And in one crit he walked up to a students work and knocked one of the sketch models off the table and slowly stomped on it then smooched it into the ground and said "That didn't need to be there"
OMG crits are so frustrating, there were atleast 2 last semester that I left wanting to cry.
My drawing teacher last semester was awesome and really nice. There was one crit I thought she was going to cry because she thought some pictures looked unfinished.
She told us that in when she was in school she had a teacher who would hand out mcdonalds applications to students who did a poor job.
I'm in grad school for an MFA in Graphic Design, after being a practicing Graphic Designer for over 20 years. Crits are DEFINITELY the worst part of my day... The thing that gets me the most fired up is when some other student objects because I start talking about references in a work to something from ancient history, or from some obscure artist. I was actually told in a crit once by another grad student that "we're not here to talk about obscure or esoteric references in the work..."
Oh gosh how I live for critiques. So I have a professor that will take a pen to original hand renderings (I'm in Industrial Design) He just goes and marks up something you've spent a good two hours working on, usually in a red pen or a sharpie... really just whatever is lying around. Also there is a prof who when walking into a room will take out the tack of anything that they don't like and let it fall to the ground.
Haha I am in my first year of art school & crits are either great or completely awkward
A girl in my drawing class acted like she was some sort of professional for the first couple weeks and was being a total jerk when we had out first crit.... then she put her drawings up... lets just say my four year-old cousin draws better than that lol
Ahh, this was so funny! I kept laughing. When I majored in theater performance so many of the critiques by the students were exactly how you depicted them (especially the first example). I actually had one girl tell me, "your performance lacked a certain organic quality of innocence and authenticity. There was an inherent lack of human nature." So ridiculous! Ahhh.
my 3D animation teach ounce told us that is we plan to make 3D animtion our profesion we should plan to never get a job because companies only hire "talented people" T_T
I am a GD student at the University of Florida, and I had a teacher my first semester freshman year who was completely silent during one of my classmates crits which was particularly long and thorough, but as soon as it was his turn to speak said, "Sorry, I was not paying attention to anything that was just said, I was imagining a giant flower crushing a city"
i was in my 2D design and color class & a girl walked up to me and said "i don't like you very much", I asked her why, "Because you draw too good!" I genuinely think that she doesn't like me because of that. I hope she doesn't critique my artwork based on her reason that she doesn't like me because i draw "good". college.
This was perfect. I actually go to RISD too! I'm going to be a sophomore next year. Let's see...I had Ken Horii, with the infamous cardboard chair project. There were times where he would talk to me for half an hour, walk away, and I'd make our TA translate what he said because it was so ridiculous haha :)
We have some teachers that have interesting styles of writing on the blackboard or just teaching. One of them is really crazy, all conspiracy theories and weird mind maps and stuff. Another one will start drawing a mind map, but kind of forget it, so that at the end of the lesson there'll be a square that represents the government and a random circle on the board, maybe along with a few scribbled words that no longer hold any importance to anyone.
i finished an MFA program in Creative Writing a little over a year ago and the critique process could be so DRAINING! It got to be where I really preferred the online comments versus the in person where everyone stared at anything else but the writer. We had one prof who kept telling this quiet girl to speak up and OWN her poems. I thought the girl was gonna cry and she was like 35!! :) alhhh school -jessie
This is SO TRUE. One time my friend and I were in our Drawing Class, and we had to do a realistic self-portrait in pastel, and an abstract portrait in pastel. When our professor got to my friend's abstract portrait, he looks at it for a second, and then says "Yeah..We'll talk about THIS later..." and moves on to another piece. OUCH!
This really made me laugh because I know exactly what you are talking about. I haven't had any of my projects ripped apart yet(thank god my teachers seem to like me).
One of my teachers has this thing where he stacks the projects from worse to best or best to worse. You're literally sitting on edge hoping your project is in the right spot. And once he made us present a class mate's spread, we didn't know what it looked like till we were standing in front of everyone D:
Oh how I miss class critiques. I just recently graduated from SAIC and am way to familiar for my own comfort with this scenario. Oy, how the wonders of the world collide in an Art School. :)
i had my sculpture teacher tacke a hammer to the bust that i was making and destroy it in front of the class, only to say "there! that's MUCH better." he handed me back my tools and just walked away.
In high school I had some crappy asymmetrical assignment where I had to make a design that didn't resemble anything. The class was full of catty, preppy art snob types and ripped my piece apart, saying, among other things, that it looked like dolphins.
I told off the class and the teacher. I left the class and transferred out.
I had a chef instructor that would watch you cook from across the room and if he saw you do something wrong(wrong cut/seasoning/mixing method)he would nonchalantly walk up to you, take whatever you'd done and toss it in the bin. He would then proceed ask you if he knew what you did wrong and if you didn't he wouldn't tell you.
Had a BUNCH of teachers in community college that would give those who would only write a paragraph (compared to the like THREE pages assigned) the same level of grades compared to those who would ACTUALLY write the full assignment simply to prevent their grades from slacking that far.
you almost died at the end! Close call... Anyway, art school sounds super stressful! But I know there is some good that comes from it, seeing how excited you are to go back :)
Thanks for getting the ChartJackers song stuck in my head...AGAIN. That song will never leave me, I swear. Haha.
Oh my gosh. Those critiques sound awful. >_< I've never had to deal with that kind of stuff in visual art classes, but I've definitely heard some crazy stuff that was similar in my literature classes. Ha. People crack me up.
Haha! ChartJackers reference. Michael is so funny! I totally understand about the unhelpful critiques. In one of my writing classes last spring, some people would only say "I liked it. Yeah ... I was good," which we know is not helpful at all. I've never heard of crits before, but someone in TinyChat totally played it on Facebook Scrabble because they heard it from your video! XD
Ha! I had a professor once who said we should know the theme to the finale of Beethoven's 3rd symphony so well that we could sing it in our graves. He proceeded to lay down on the ground, pretend to put a lily on his chest, and sing it. He then got up, ran across the lecture hall, jumped up on top of a piano, and pointed out something on the overhead. He was awesome.
I had a Latin teacher last year who said this choice quotation: "IF you stop screwing up I will stop verbally abusing you!!" Which I hope deep down came from a place of love...
ArtSchool!Harry would say: "Actually, Professor Snape, everybody knows that the stuff in *ALL* of the trash cans is from your class."
Whereas a professor literally cutting up your art in a critique is an oddly beautiful metaphor. To me it says: "You have all the pieces, but taking the next step requires courage."
The secret language of critiques is metaphor.
... and metaphorically speaking, your blood-smudge loving classmate is a vampire.
One ridiculous prof teaching Eastern Religions had an interesting blackboard-writing style:
While lecturing, he would suddenly write vaguely-related, unimportant terms all across the chalkboard, and in all capital letters, no less. The terms would not be related to each other, as they would deal with different religions: INCENSE (Buddhism). Then later, SPEAR (Shinto). Then later, VALLEY SPIRIT (Confucianism). Also, he sometimes wrote on top of words he had previously written.
I'm enjoying you act out other people in your recent videos, it makes me smile. I especially like the "girl who wears a lot of necklaces and is deep and the way the red blends with the blue".
In my design class, we had to do a piece using only various circles. It was on black paper using white pencil. We had to use the elements and principles and easily identify them because it was the beginning level class. For my piece, I wanted to create this larger ball falling into what appeared to be water (just created with a bunch of shaded circles). The crit was going relatively well, until my teacher says that it looks like an upside down turkey. I got an A, though.
I've never heard anyone call it a "crit" before, but I laughed. I did have a "crit" once where everyone hated my animation project because it wasn't anything special. I modeled and animated a character in Maya and set it to music and everyone else did crappy 2D animations. The only person who appreciated the work that I did on it was my teacher. He knew that it took me hours. High school blew.
I LOVE when lecturers tell you to put it upside down... One of our lecturers has a list of questions he asks when challenging our work such as 'hang it upside down', 'monochrome?', 'what happens if you treat it like a bird's eye view?' etc... By the end I'm usually frazzled and confused although sometimes it's great.
i liked "thoughtful peer" karen.. with the quirky blue pants and the poof and slanty wavey flowyness in the hair, makes your head look different.. though it'd probably be really annoying to try and keep your hair in that position... just thought i'd throw that out there ^_^''
This really reminded me of my college creative writing class where my teacher started off the critique on my piece by saying, "Well, I didn't really like it, but what do you think, class?"
One critique that I can think of off the top of my head was my freshman year in 2-D Concepts. While working on the project the professor told me how great my collage was, but seemed to have nothing positive to say about it during the actual critique. I was so disheartened and confused.
I have creative photo as a class this coming semester and am really interested to see how my crits will go...
I use to complain about doing art critiques when I was studying art history. But when I was in the national gallery earlier this month, all the skills I learned critiquing allowed me to better appreciate the art work. Then again, you're examples of critiques are not what I'm use to. For that, man it's rough getting critique from your peers.
Chartjackers!! :D This is such a hilarious video -- and so true! I wasn't in art school, but creative writing is pretty similar. Substitute "character," "tone," and "dialogue" for things like "typography" and "juxtaposition" and it's pretty much the same. By the way, this may not be much in the way of a crit, but I love your VidCon poster!
I like in multi part projects the first week "crit" is "I like this, who's is this", and the next week on the same exact piece is "I really don't like this. I really think you should re-do the whole thing". or of course the one teach i didn't have that threw paintings across the room and the one who would always say "this sucks" and you could never tell if he was kidding or not.
Hey I went to school for design and i def can agree with how you feel i even had teachers who would give me suggestions on how to make my project better then at the crit would be tear it apart leaving me like well.....thats what you suggested!!! Ugh lol....on another note im curious about the necklace you wear in a lot of your vids what does it mean/stand for?
I had an English teacher that was really strict about grades and actually gave out a F-. Like a F isn't enough. I got marked down a full letter grade for turning in my work literally 2 seconds late. :( But she really wasn't too bad. xD
I'm not in art school, but I just took AP studio art and the student critics were terrible. I was working with charcoal and the only thing people would ever say is, "You should add color." I had to tell them before hand that telling me to add color was NOT helpful and everyone stopped. =(
Teeheeee, that was really funny. I don't go to art school nor have any intention to, but I do enough creative stuff to recognize the situations you act out quite skillfully XD
My sister studies theater, and they did this thing where they each created a piece and the class critiqued them. I didn't understand it at all. I was visiting her class on the day they all presented and critiqued their pieces, and one very outgoing guy came up to me after and demanded, "Which piece did you like the best?"
I said, "Umm... I don't know...my sister's, I guess..."
And he stared at me and said coldly, "You could've said mine."
I go to Parsons, and I completely understand where you're coming from when it comes to crits. It's especially awkward when it's a 2 or 3 hour long session, and everyone is tired and bored out of their minds, and then you or someone else have to go up, and no one says anything. The silence seems to last for hours. I laughed so hard at the student talking in big, intelligent, "artsy" words. There's always at least one person like that in each class!
Oh memories!!!!! You hit the nail on the head. I didn't know all art classes were the same. I developed a very thick skin after getting Crits but they really do help. love your vid, and I will sub, go to my channel and return the favor please. Also check out my art at w w w . kwoo10designs . c o m and leave your critique in my guestbook.
Oh, also, I don't know how heavily you read or respond to these comments as I've recently discovered you, but I'm a vlogger from MICA and you're a vlogger from RISD and I think that's hilarious.
This made me laugh. Even though I wasn't an art student, I can sympathize. Creative writing critiques could be just as frustrating. "I know it ends kind of abruptly, but I wasn't sure how to conclude this paragraph to tie it back into the beginning neatly. Do you have any ideas?" "It's good. I like it. It's a good ending." "But there IS no ending. It stops mid-sentence!" "No, I like it. It's really good." *Sigh*
i love getting art critiqued! i always find it interesting to look at art from multiple angles, so feedback is fun, although i have run into the "umm, i like it i guess" bit.
Middle East History 1 at Georgetown, when I took it, was taught by an overwrought Egyptian woman who constantly got distracted from the matter at hand and insisted on calling me Vanya. Another time she told the entire class to show up wearing black, and got miffed at the ones who didn't.
critiques were usually my favorite part of class. sometimes not though, because i went to a community college, so there were normally only a few people who gave actual, helpful feedback, everyone else's comments just being 'i like it; it looks really nice, i like the letters'. GRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
The worst critique happened last semester. The teacher was basically scolding us on our finals (she went easy on me for some reason.) It was to the point that one of my classmates began wagging his finger in mockery behind her back. One of my other classmates was really pissed off after class.
I have a professor at SCAD who will innocently ask students if they're color blind, if they drew their piece while driving, etc. Most of my professors have been really cool, though. I heard a story about a teacher from Japan whose motto was "Good critique, bring trash can. Better critique, bring dumpster."
I had a sculptng teacher who wouldn't critique anything, but right before we would have this art gathering thing for the school, he would "Fix" the scultpures. :[
At Berkeley, the anthropology department and the art department are in the same building, and I very much enjoy hanging out in the halls at the end of the semester listening to critiques. The students generally start out very kind to each other's work (except when there's one or two a-holes), but once the professor has spoken, sometimes the students seem to feel more free to be critical (or they're just showing that they agree w/the professor). interesting dynamics to witness from the outside.
crazy is good. you're crazy if you're not crazy. i felt bad for getting-critiqued karen. everyone just says my work is cool and i believe them. or i could be deluded. probably the latter
I had a professor in Real Number Analysis who everyone thought was crazy. At least once per class, he would put the cap on his dry-erase marking and throw it forcefully towards the trashcan in the back of the room, while mumbling about how useless dry-erase markers are. Also, he would randomly leave the room during class without saying anything when he left or when he returned. Everyone in the class wondered what was wrong with him, but no one ever asked.
But . . . I understood that reference AND I think you're crazy. =) Good-crazy, though.
Yeah, we get juries and seminars. Luckily, the seminars were basically just mini-recitals, and the juries are just the professors, so you don't get the whole "peer-review" thing, usually.
I loved the random Chartjackers reference at the beginning :) You got so much footage from VIDCON it makes me regret even more that I didn't go :'( I also got around to watching your Typography video. I was on the road catching a couple of WROCK shows (4 of em). I just wanted to mention this because you were so disappointied on Twitter about your view count. DFTBA.
Would have liked to see more of your designs in this video.
I had this teacher in grad school that made 5 students cry during a single term. Not during presentations but still that'spretty bad. He also refused to give any marks out till the end of the term so half of us were convinced we were failing.
one time I was working on a project and then when I finished it (really early) i hated it and realized I was over thinking my idea. so i scrapped the whole thing and did a very simple version of the same idea and I thought it was all simplistic and that I had a huge breakthrough in thought. i even told everyone during the critique that I felt like i had a breakthrough in my thoughts but EVERYONE THOUGHT IT WAS DUMB and not enough work put in :\
Ahaha! As soon as you said "I've got nothing" i started singing, and then I realised you were singing too xD HAHA was Michael drunk? and Lulz for falling over tripods xD they are greedy for legs
In creative writing classes, we do something similar when we critique others' writings. Everyone always blows typos way out of proportion, especially with poetry. It's so frustrating.
This sounds like my friend's description of her architecture crits :-s Oh, I am so glad that i did history. I only did four presentations in three years of degree :)
I love the bigger-glasses-wearing 'emotions'-talking student. You can really act :)
dude that whole smudge thing happened to me the teacher was like OH MY GOD THAT FINGERPRINT DID YOU MEEN FOR THAT TO BE THERE and i was like no i think it happened when i picked up my piece he goes your lucky it happened it made the piece perfect im like WTF lol
i kicked my tripod yesterday, it was a accident, but then i was like am i going to be lazy and not edit out it falling over? or am i going to delete that? *hmmmmmmsss*, editing can take a long time see
high school crit (i feel so cool for saying that) was dumb and the person ever saying anything was to teacher.. hopefully art school is a bit more enlighting

I am a GD student at the University of Florida, and I had a teacher my first semester freshman year who was completely silent during one of my classmates crits which was particularly long and thorough, but as soon as it was his turn to speak said, "Sorry, I was not paying attention to anything that was just said, I was imagining a giant flower crushing a city"

i was in my 2D design and color class & a girl walked up to me and said "i don't like you very much", I asked her why, "Because you draw too good!" I genuinely think that she doesn't like me because of that. I hope she doesn't critique my artwork based on her reason that she doesn't like me because i draw "good". college.

We have some teachers that have interesting styles of writing on the blackboard or just teaching. One of them is really crazy, all conspiracy theories and weird mind maps and stuff. Another one will start drawing a mind map, but kind of forget it, so that at the end of the lesson there'll be a square that represents the government and a random circle on the board, maybe along with a few scribbled words that no longer hold any importance to anyone.
Also, my physics teacher hates mathematicians :D

This is SO TRUE. One time my friend and I were in our Drawing Class, and we had to do a realistic self-portrait in pastel, and an abstract portrait in pastel. When our professor got to my friend's abstract portrait, he looks at it for a second, and then says "Yeah..We'll talk about THIS later..." and moves on to another piece. OUCH!

This really made me laugh because I know exactly what you are talking about. I haven't had any of my projects ripped apart yet(thank god my teachers seem to like me).
One of my teachers has this thing where he stacks the projects from worse to best or best to worse. You're literally sitting on edge hoping your project is in the right spot. And once he made us present a class mate's spread, we didn't know what it looked like till we were standing in front of everyone D:

He would then proceed ask you if he knew what you did wrong and if you didn't he wouldn't tell you.

ArtSchool!Harry would say: "Actually, Professor Snape, everybody knows that the stuff in *ALL* of the trash cans is from your class."
Whereas a professor literally cutting up your art in a critique is an oddly beautiful metaphor. To me it says: "You have all the pieces, but taking the next step requires courage."
The secret language of critiques is metaphor.
... and metaphorically speaking, your blood-smudge loving classmate is a vampire.

One ridiculous prof teaching Eastern Religions had an interesting blackboard-writing style:
While lecturing, he would suddenly write vaguely-related, unimportant terms all across the chalkboard, and in all capital letters, no less. The terms would not be related to each other, as they would deal with different religions: INCENSE (Buddhism). Then later, SPEAR (Shinto). Then later, VALLEY SPIRIT (Confucianism). Also, he sometimes wrote on top of words he had previously written.

In my design class, we had to do a piece using only various circles. It was on black paper using white pencil. We had to use the elements and principles and easily identify them because it was the beginning level class. For my piece, I wanted to create this larger ball falling into what appeared to be water (just created with a bunch of shaded circles). The crit was going relatively well, until my teacher says that it looks like an upside down turkey. I got an A, though.

I've never heard anyone call it a "crit" before, but I laughed. I did have a "crit" once where everyone hated my animation project because it wasn't anything special.

I go to Parsons, and I completely understand where you're coming from when it comes to crits.

The silence seems to last for hours. I laughed so hard at the student talking in big, intelligent, "artsy" words. There's always at least one person like that in each class!

"But there IS no ending. It stops mid-sentence!" "No, I like it. It's really good." *Sigh*

At Berkeley, the anthropology department and the art department are in the same building, and I very much enjoy hanging out in the halls at the end of the semester listening to critiques. The students generally start out very kind to each other's work (except when there's one or two a-holes), but once the professor has spoken, sometimes the students seem to feel more free to be critical (or they're just showing that they agree w/the professor). interesting dynamics to witness from the outside.
