Callie Beller Diesel Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Just because threads pop up once in a while about crits, I thought there might be some of us who wanted to add any favourite "special" nuggets of (questionable) wisdom they may have encountered in the course of trying to improve their work. http://www.artcritzingers.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 You need to start painting in brighter colors. I paint most everything in dark colors. Don't know why. I need to stop. I need brightness in my mind when I paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Campbell Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Often heard comment as "critics" point out just about any other piece of pottery they see ... " I bet you could do that."

TJR Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 The Cosmetology teacher across the hall from the art room said to me once; "Why don't you ever wear pastel coloured shirts?" I replied; "Why would I wear pastels when I can wear pure colour?"Add expletive if you wish, to taste. TJR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need brightness in my mind when I paint. Pbfth, wee on that! ♥ Dark colors are beautiful. I usually work with dark colors that have lots of baroque lighting. The only thing I use bright colors for are touches of highlights. My favorite color is alizarin crimson! Though, bright colors can add to the creepy factor, too. Here's a poster-sized piece I made ofvthis super talented drummer I know who sadly is in the grip of a bad meth addiction. I like to guinea-fy people sometimes, and his story kinda spoke to me. Tells of past, present, and future, and I used colors to aid the narrative. 99% of the people who first see this in person say, "Holy ess-aitch-eye-tee." That pleases me.

Holy es aitch eye tee. My ex's favourite colour was alizarine crimson. I know the colour well. It is etched behind my eyeballs.

Marcia Selsor Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Bill Daley used a phrase at our critiques regarding form and /or color..."tingle your gonads" .

Babs Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 SOme folks, a gender issue???, link everything to their gonads, have a heart! Therein lies a generalisation. Language is the vehicle for thought in some fields so when artists start to talk of their work or that of others, it may not be their strongest field of expression.

TJR Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Tom Rohr was fond of "you can't put a tuxedo on a turd." I knew the man. He worked here for a number of years. A huge loss to the ceramic community. TJR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
