THE HANDOUT: Community-Guided Critque
Time-Based Artist Edition
In reviewing your current collection of art work, select (1) piece that you would like to share at the workshop to tell your vision and inquire for feedback. This document is to help you to reflect on how you feel about your own work at this current time as well as to consider what you would like to know about your work from your fellow creatives. Please review this before the session so that we may all maximize on our time together.

▪ Would I consider this an experimental piece?
