Bad Dancers?

There aren't any BAD Dancers!

Often times, I listen to people make comments such as, "he has no rhythm .... or she can't follow". Sometimes the comments are even more harmful, "what do they think they're trying to do - that looks simply awful", or "he can't dance at all, he's just bopping - maybe he should take some lessons"!

Have you ever thought this? Ever voiced this to your friends? What's really important about dancing anyway?

I've attended many social dances and many competitions and must admit there is one dancer that I always enjoy watching on the floor. Have you ever seen the dancers that dance every dance (even if they can't dance?) but they're always smiling - always having fun. I watch these dancers in fascination, they are actually having a great time.

When I watch people on the dance floor, I often wonder, Why are they dancing - they look like they're in pain? I am truly amazed that anyone would go out for an evening of torment and painstaking work - there is a time and place for everything in life.

Social dancing is people moving together on the dance floor and enjoying themselves. We don't all have to dance the same way. Even if you just get up and sway to the music, that's your way of expressing pleasure in dancing. Did you ever think to yourself, "They're not bad dancers - just different".

A dance floor will always have people with different styles and knowledge levels about dancing: which doesn't mean they are good or bad dancers, just people enjoying themselves for an evening. Maybe if you take dancing so seriously that you're losing your ability to laugh at yourself over a mistake it's time to take a lesson or two from a social dancer that doesn't perform ballroom steps but actually moves to music for FUN!

How to Give Your Own Artwork an Art Critique

If your painting seems a little lack-luster you can learn how to do an art critique on your paintings and fix the problem before anyone else is the wiser. Art critiquing may seem difficult when it's your own work, but you can simplify the job by breaking it down into steps.

What Draws Your Attention?

The first thing you should do during a personal art critique is to try to figure out where your viewer's eye will go. Successful paintings lead the eye from the main subject, around the painting and back to the main subject.

Generally, this is done by having items point toward one another instead of off the canvas. Check to make sure that your objects aren't leading your viewer's eyes off the painting and on to something else and then make sure that your subject has enough impact to draw the viewer in. The main subject should either be the darkest or lightest area in the painting.

Check Your Painting's Composition

The unity, balance, proportion and scale will all be in harmony in a good painting composition. Often an easy way to check a painting's composition during an art critique is to turn the painting upside down. The mistakes will become more obvious to you with this new perspective. Here are some things to look for:

Does a cluster of small objects will balance a large object, or is the painting's composition too heavy on one side?

Is the color palette harmonious? Do all of the colors come from a warm color pallet or a cool color palette?

Is the composition cluttered with too many items?

Are all of the objects in your painting in proper proportion?

Do you need to scale the main object up or down to make more of an impact?
