Critique Tips

  1. Try to answer your partner’s question as best as you can. 

  2. If you can, give other feedback about what could be improved and why it needs to be improved. 

  3. If you don’t know how to solve their project, you can also pose a question. For example, “What if you moved the main person to the right and made him larger? Would this help create more focus on the main subject?”

​

Thursday 9/26 & Friday 9/27
