CRITS: A Student Manual is a practical guide to help art and design students obtain maximum benefits from the most common method of teaching these subjects in college: the studio critique. CRITS positions studio critiques as positive, productive, and inspirational means to foster development – not occasions to be feared. It explains the requisite skills, knowledge, and attitudes for meaningful and motivational participation in critiques. CRITS teaches students the hows and whys of critiques so that they can gain enriching benefits from their instructors and peers during and after critiques.

Renowned author Terry Barrett informs, guides, and reassures students on the potential value of studio critiques. Filled with real-life examples of what works well, and what doesn’t, Barrett provides readers with the tools to see crits as opportunities to participate, observe, reflect, and develop – improving art and design engagement at all levels.

Reviews for CRITS: A Student Manual

If I had to summarize my response in one brief phrase it would be I wish I had been given the opportunity to read this when I was an art student -- Professor Emeritus, College for Creative Studies, USA Personally, I believe that critiques are the least successful aspect of studio art experience and this book has the potential to greatly improve that aspect for teachers and students alike. Often, teachers have the tendency to teach the way they have been taught, which is often not the most successful or useful approach. Since this book is so easily digestible, I can foresee students and teachers actually looking forward to critiques, enjoying the process of the critique, and reaping significantly greater rewards from the overall experience. -- James Thurman, University of North Texas, USA
