I'm really looking forward to the critique session in this afternoon's class. We're going to have to keep it moving, so I apologize before the fact that your crit might seem a little rushed.
The order of presentation will be reverse chronological by surname. If your last name starts with Z, you will go first. If it starts with A, you will likely go last.
The student will read his/her/their visual poem if it can be read. Some visual poems can't really be "read" in the conventional sense. After the class gets a sense of what's going on, we'll begin the critique. The author/artist of the piece must refrain from speaking until after we address the three following questions. After these three questions are addressed, the author/artist is free to speak.
1) What specifically do you like about the piece? Why?
2) How does the graphic dimension of the piece work with the language? Would the poem be different without its visual aspect? How?
3) How could this visual poem potentially be improved? What specific changes would you suggest?
