[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 333272, member: 24753"] [b]Re: How To Bring The "Constructive" Back To "Constructive Criticism"[/b] We humans have a way of losing word meanings over time. I'm using the 3rd definition of criticism from Bing: "assessment of creative work: considered judgment of or discussion about the qualities of something, especially a creative work" I agree with the gist of the article. The first thing on the list being the most important, knowing when someone wants criticism and when they don't. And something the article does not mention, but perhaps more important is knowing the level of the artist you are criticizing. I think this especially applies in a setting like a photography forum where the mix of experience and talent has extreme limits. The sole purpose of criticism in a learning environment is improvement. If the criticism one has to offer is not for the betterment of the artist or the work, then one is on the verge of failing miserably as a critic.:) [/QUOTE]
