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 compressive critique of each participants’ artwork. Through a collaboration with all in attendance, the goal will be to share constructive ideas for improvement. From beginners to accomplished artists, all can benefit and learn new ways of thinking and approaching their art.

More details:

• Arrive no later than 9:15 to sign in and place art. Critique begins promptly at 9:30.
• Each attendee may bring one or two (maximum) pieces of art. One critique per artist will be guaranteed; a second critique will be given if time permits.

• ALL mediums welcome.

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.
