ART 493 SMP 1/ ART 333 Adv.
Research and Writing for SMP Peer Interview Assignment A
direct person-to-person conversation can often be a more accessible way to
articulate your art making ideas and intentions. Likewise, the written
response interview can be a great intermediary step between the casual
discussion and writing a formal artist statement. You
will conduct two interview sessions with your critique partner (you interview
them and they interview you) in the semester. For the first interview, the group
will decide on 8 questions that everyone will answer. For the second
interview, your partner will develop 8 questions specifically directed at
your work and concerns. I recommend interviews be completed as verbal
discussions that you record and your partner transcribes. Your partner will give you that
transcription which you can then edit. If done with a degree of
attentiveness, you will find your responses a helpful resource for future art
writing. But you need to take the questions to heart and put some thought and
effort into your answers. First thing to remember is that a couple of
sentences will not make for a meaningful response. Also remember that
conversation (the back and forth follow up) is what makes this exercise special.
So donŐt just answer the questions by submitting a transcript; follow up with
questions back to your partner that cause both of you to think more deeply
and clearly about your answers that will take your thinking to the next
level. Assignment:
