So the window is DONE! Yeah, I know, pictures are coming. We had our critique on Friday and I was SO nervous. It didn't help that Kevin's looked picture-perfect while mine...had some issues. Anyway, once people started putting their windows up for critique I began to feel better about mine. There's a girl who insists on sitting at our table even though there is clearly only room for 4 at each table and there are other places available at other tables. We call her Goth Girl because, well, she is. She's got "666" tattooed on her ear, has several piercings, and generally looks different just like everyone else. Whatever.
Anyway, her window was particularly appalling, I thought. None of her lines met up and her craftsmanship was really poor. She's spent about 2 hours in class over the last 6 meetings or so, but she seems to be excused about that. It was baffling, people were comparing her window to Tim Burton-type themes. I thought it was just plain awful. Oh, and the best part was that SHE hated it too! We were supposed to say what we liked about the window and what we didn't, and she kept repeating that she hated everything about it and didn't like a single thing. I honestly wonder what grade she's going to get.
Then there was the girl who pretty much got ripped apart by our teacher. Our teacher started the discussion by saying "I pretty much cut all of these pieces" and chastised the girl for not following directions--the directions being straight lines with minimal curves where the girl used all curves and not a single straight line. Why? "Because I don't like straight lines." Um, okay.
Anyway, so mine went well. I was expecting a bunch of negative comments but her primary negative remark was that she hoped I took more risks in my next project. Unlike the girl above, my window was ALL straight lines, and I like lines just fine.
