There is nothing more potentially helpful to artistic growth and development than criticism, but as most artists know, criticism in the arts is far from perfect and not always particularly rational, fair or constructive. This 3½ hour workshop provides participants with concrete strategies, steps, insights and tips for getting the most out of valid and constructive criticism and for how to prevent problematic criticism from being taken to heart. Also covered is how to evaluate your own work. Partnering with the Arts Council ~ Haliburton Highlands .
