Note: Mentored critique groups are offered at the start of every term with select instructors. The term starts this May 2023.
Get guaranteed, targeted feedback on your work-in-progress from an industry professional and other students in your group.
Every term, we offer mentored critique groups with some of our instructors. These small groups meet three times during the term to receive peer critiques and critiques from an instructor on submitted work. Students can see their work advance considerably over the course of nine weeks through guidance from their mentor and application
