Since committee meeting are upon us....Saw this hanging on a professors door and thought I'd share....

Critique:

Eleven constructs of good work:


1.  Dynamism-Work that is visually arresting and causes delight.

2.  Depth-Work that is not consumed in the first look but revels more upon further viewing.

3.  Contemporaneity-  Work that reveals something of "the now."

4.  Concept-Work that is driven by an idea and the unique expression of that idea.

5.  Engagement-  Work that exudes the intensity and commitment of the maker.

6.  Originality-  Work that contributes to the ongoing search for "the new."

7.  Personality-  Work that communicates something of the core of the maker.

8.  Soul-  Work that feels whole, complete and alive.

9.  Parallelism-  Work that fulfills the expectations set up by its compositional gesture and stylistic phrasing.

10.  Subversion-  Work that subverts the brief in an effort to explode beyond the banal.

11.  Craft-  Work that is well made.
