I find self-critique to be interesting as not only are you required to focus attention on what you’ve created out of your work, but I think it also creates a space where you’re forced to consider whether you’re being too critical on one thing, or not critical enough on another. Furthermore, it requires you to focus on elements of a work that you may not initially consider as something that needs to be considered in critiquing. For instance, I would not have considered the effort and perseverance that I put into creating these drawings as something someone might consider in the work. However, I can easily recall, as stated in my comments, that I struggled briefly with how to handle the lid of the Starbucks cup due to the raised lip, as well as trying to be accurate in my shapes of the soda cans and their placement in line with one another.
On the other hand, I know something I struggled with for myself was the logic of initial sketches and idealizing something before actually working on it. I realize this is another segment of perfectionism and believing it has to be perfect the first time, but it also lends itself to gaining knowledge. In having to do this self-critique, referring to that point definitely made me think about needing to not just plan out sketches and drawings in my head, but also on paper, even if it’s just scribbles. All in all though, I feel like doing this helped me have a different way of appreciating my own work and where I’m starting versus where I hope to end up with it.
