Criticism is essential to a healthy art scene—for an art community to thrive, artworks need to be examined, debated, encouraged and archived. We will focus on evaluating and interpreting art, formulating a thesis, and writing with clarity and style. As part of the workshops, each student will be required to write an original short-form review. Following the course, there will be an opportunity for participants to publish their work online with Daily Serving, Bęc Zmiana, and Culture.pl. Students must be proficient in speaking and writing in English. The workshops are free and open to anyone interested in writing about art.
