ABOUT THE CRITIQUE GROUP
In this critique, Matthew Baum will lead a productive and supportive group conversation about your work, aiming to enhance your skills as an image-maker and foster your growth as an artist. You will be encouraged to create photographs and bodies of work that are authentic, personally meaningful, and accessible to your chosen audience. The critique will cover aesthetic choices, conceptual ideas, and practical concerns such as writing an artist's statement. Additionally, you will learn to analyze photos with greater sensitivity and enhance your confidence in discussing your work and that of others in the group.
