When I was in High School I was art editor for the student art and lit magazine. I ran weekly critiques where we looked at submissions and then voted on whether to publish them. In my memory, the critiques were actually quite respectful and thoughtful. We thought about contrast, design, message, and applied all the art concepts we were learning in art class. The one that feels most relevant today is “too busy”. It’s easy to fill a canvas or a piece of paper with too much. You lose the subject and the noise wins. And this, my pendant for the week, is an ode to “too busy”, in art and in life.
