Stan and Marshall return to the topic of art criticism to impart the secrets of giving and receiving the best critiques possible. They summarize why it’s good to critique people, what goals you should have when critiquing someone’s art, how to frame things positively for the person receiving the critique and more. This is only part 1 of the discussion. In part 2 they’ll change topics and focus on how to seek out good critiques and what makes someone “critiqueable”.
