Everyone who goes to art school, design school, or architecture school learns how to critique.
But everyone learns how to do it differently.
And you can end up with conflicting critique practices.

Well, do you ever have people working on a project that they feel this way about?

Really stuck.
That’s when having some kind of institutionalized practice like critique helps a lot!
It gives people permission to be imperfect, to have works-in-progress, and most of all, to ask for help.
It gives them a guide to get them through it and move their project forward.

SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM YOUR WORK
OBSERVE & LISTEN
SAY THE IMPORTANT STUFF FIRST
START WITH THE POSITIVE

You just have to remember the golden rule, and make the expectations clear.
