For this assignment, I commented on the blogs of Joyce, Cheyenne, Mila, Chloe, Jádé, Shihan, and Kate. I try to look at my classmates' blogs every once in a while, because it's super cool to see how others have approached the same assignments, but I don't think I've commented on anyone's blog until now. It was nice to have that little push, and it's great practice for when I'll eventually have to comment on my future students' work. It was also super nice to see the comments my classmates left me on my own blog, not just the compliments, but also the constructive criticism! I actually hope we can do this again another week, though I don't know if that'll fit in with what Richard has planned. I often struggle with what to say about a piece when I'm looking at it, so this was a nice low-pressure way to practice. I'm still trying to find the balance between giving positive feedback and constructive feedback. It's not just that I'm afraid to give constructive feedback; my brain tends to focus on the artist's process and concept, and I'm less knowledgeable about the technical stuff across many media. I also lack some technical vocabulary, which can make it difficult to communicate what I see.
