Cultivating The Inner Critic

As 2021 starts, I feel it important to discuss how we cultivate our inner critic. After spending time with creative play we have to switch roles and see how our critical self helps the creative self become fully realized.The 4 step process of art criticism is a great guide to build a foundational understanding that can support our opinions, help us reevaluate our ideas and fully develop...not just the art we make, but who we are as individuals. In light of all that is happening in the world at this moment it is vital that we understand how to use our judgement in supportive and useful ways. Art can be a structural system to support our development as individuals in a society, and the critical understanding art provides us in evaluating art can help us evaluate so much more. Explore the curated content around this subject AT THIS LINK.
