At last Saturday’s SAQA Parlor meeting, Linda Strowbridge did a great job talking about different
methods of conducting critiques of art quilts. As promised, she has provided us with some
resources for anyone who would like to read a little more on the topic.</div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
We discussed a common, art school approach to conducting
critiques. Known by the acronym DAIJ, the critique involves four steps:
Description, Analysis, Interpretation and Judgement. </div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
You can learn more about how to conduct at DAIJ critique in Lyric
Kinard’s book, “Art + Quilt: Design Principles and Creativity Exercises.” She
devotes an entire chapter to “The Art of Evaluation and Critique,” offering
lots of questions to ask at each stage of the critique and guidance on how to
tailor the critique to art quilts.</div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
For a little more information on DAIJ critiques, check out this
quick <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/sloweart/daij"><span style="color: #000099;">slideshow</span></a> or <a href="http://www.twistedtextiles.com/2007/03/15/how-to-critique-artwork-like-a-pro/"><span style="color: #000099;">this blog post</span></a> entitled, “How to critique
artwork like a pro.”</div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
Of course, there are assorted other ways to critique an art
quilt.</div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
Kit Vincent outlines a critique method used by many quilt groups
in <a href="http://www.saqa.com/information.php?ID=2291"><span style="color: #000099;">this article</span></a> on the SAQA website. </div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
The SAQA website contains several other interesting resources
about critique. They include a <a href="http://www.saqa.com/information.php?ID=2290"><span style="color: #000099;">“Self
Assessment Sheet”</span></a> by Christine Zoller and an “<a href="http://www.goshen.edu/art/ed/critiqueform.html"><span style="color: #000099;">Artwork
Critique Form.”</span></a></div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
Finally, Elizabeth Barton - a quilt artist, instructor and author
in Georgia - offers her insights in a 2010 blog post entitled <a href="http://elizabethbarton.blogspot.com/2010/01/on-art-of-critique.html"><span style="color: #000099;">“On the Art of Critique.”</span></a> She discusses the
challenges of getting quilt artists to actually engage in critique, some
practices from the design classes she teaches, and a different approach to
critiquing works in progress. <span lang="en-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: #0400; mso-bidi-language: X-NONE; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: #0400;"></span></div>

There were 21 people in attendance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We began with our usual review of upcoming events and calls for entry, plus other SAQA business.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">SAQA Calls for Entry can be found <a href="http://www.saqa.com/membership.php?ID=637">here</a>. (You'll have to log in to the SAQA website. This info is for members only. If you have trouble logging in, feel free to contact your reps for help. Emails on the sidebar.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">SAQA has released info about the 2014 conference. It will be </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">May 1 to 4, 2014 and the theme will be </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">"Capitolizing on Fiber." It will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Alexandria</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ideas were generated for a summer regional event. Mid July - regional SAQA gathering at Artscape in Baltimore - detailed info on exact date and exact meeting location to be sent later (for info on Artscape <a href="http://www.artscape.org/">http://www.artscape.org</a>) Thanks to Diane Getty who volunteered to coordinate this day out in Baltimore!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">What other fun stuff would you like to do? You are welcome to coordinate a gathering - all that is needed is pick a date, time and place (could be a museum or park to meet for a sketching day, or an art exhibit) email Amalia and Diane and let us know, or post it directly to the yahoo group - send a reminder email and that is it, easy peasey, lemon squeezey! </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Susan Callahan presented an excellent program about using paint on quilts. She shared her "What If? What Else? and What Now?" process.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Linda Strowbridge presented an excellent program about various methods of critiquing for art quilts. Look for a separate blog post with an overview and resources from Linda.</span><br />

<br />
We had the "This is a Quilt! SAQA Trunk Show" and enjoyed looking at each of the 35 small art quilts included. Discussion was lively as we compared quilts, discussed strengths and weaknesses and considered our favorites. We had trunk E. All of the quilts from this trunk are pictured on the SAQA website if you'd like to take another look. See them <a href="http://www.saqa.com/about.php?ID=1910">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Nancy Sharp and Kristin LaFlamme for sharing their work as part of the "feedback" portion of our meeting.<br />

Rather than having mini-workshops about professional and artistic development, we’ll use the artwork in the trunk to discuss artist statements, critique, and other topics related to presenting and sharing art quilts. This is not the same trunk we had last January. It will be all new artwork! <br /><br />If you are interested in sharing the trunk with a guild, critique group or other group of artists during January or February, please contact Deborah Boschert. SAQA is eager to share these trunks with anyone interested!<br /><br />Because this is the second time our region has hosted a trunk, we are expected to help cover shipping costs. We’ll have a basket at the parlor meeting. Please think about dropping in a dollar or two. Thank you.<br /><br />We will also have a business card exchange at the parlor meeting. Please feel free to bring a stack of cards to share with other members. We’ll also take a little time during the meeting to share information about how you designed the cards, where you had them printed and creative ways to use business cards.<br />

Nancy Sharp and Kristin La Flamme have volunteered to share their work during our "feedback" session. Thanks Nancy and Kristin!
