You have to seek critiques - from teacher and from fellow students and from audiences...............
| Many amateurs (and some professionals) are afraid to risk such revealing self-scrutiny. They fear that their confidence may be shattered. So they avoid insightful critiques. ("I never read the critics." NONSENSE -everyone does.) |
| I am sure that you will seek constant (and revealing) critiques. You will see them as ways of improving your techniques. |
| Some students refuse this constant process at first. |
| The following may be tough to say ..... but it is worth saying. |
Such reactions against critiques are childishly ego-defensive.
They must be worked through. That is, unless self-deception
is preferred to professional development. |
| Your continuous goal is: WHAT TECHNIQUES MUST I IMROVE? You ask: What are my three weakest techniques? |
