Art Critique with Mary Louise Holt 
Learning to improve!

How can I make my art better? Or is it fine as-is? As artists, we often second-guess the outcome of our creative endeavors. In this session, Mary Louise Holt will lead an interactive discussion to provide a comprehensive critique of each participants’ artwork. Through collaboration with all attendees, we will share constructive ideas for improvement. From beginners to accomplished artists, all can benefit and learn new ways of thinking and approaching their art. 

Each attendee may bring up to two pieces of art. One critique per artist is guaranteed and a second critique will be given as time permits. All mediums are welcome. Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early to place your artwork (9:15 am). We will start promptly at 9:30 am. Light refreshments will be provided. Please reach out to your Program Chair with any questions. We look forward to seeing you, and your artwork!

NOTE: This session is part of a subset program series organized by the WACC Program Committee, Larissa Cullen and Mary Ward. Questions or feedback may be submitted via email to: waccprogramchair@gmail.com.
