Our critique was Denis Sargent, a professor at UWM Kennilworth art building in their graduate program, http://www.markmillstein.com/diweb/sargentbio.html . He showed us 2 of his textile art pieces. He takes pictures of figures out of magazines then cuts them out of plastic yogurt containers, then attaches them to contact paper, puts a black fabric over the top. Then he rubs them with encaustic, making the figures darker at the bottom of his fabric painting and lighter at the top. For one painting he had a tree the other a ladder. He cut those out of linen which he put under the black fabric and rubbed.
UWM Peck school of the arts had an open house last saturday too. http://nathanielstern.com/blog/2008/10/14/peck-school-of-the-arts-uwm-open-house-this-saturday-kenilworth-sqare-east-milwaukee-wisconsin/
I took my baby & young girl picture to the critique. I had used black on the eyes for the baby and now they're too dark so need to lighten them. He also suggested I put in the shoulder and bring in some yellow. The pink is too bright. For the young girl portrait I need to work on the neck & shoulder. Some people don't bring their stuff to the critique because it's not "good enough" but I try to bring something because you more ideas how to go.
