Dealing with Criticism as an Artist: What to Take In and What to Ignore
Description
Criticism is an inevitable part of being an artist—but not all feedback is worth your energy. In this episode, we dive into the different types of criticism artists receive and how to discern what’s constructive, what’s just opinion, and what should be ignored altogether.
You’ll learn:
How to tell the difference between valuable feedback and unhelpful noise
When to embrace critique and when to let it roll off your back
Practical ways to respond to criticism (or not respond at all)
How to build confidence in your artistic vision while remaining open to growth
Whether you're facing tough critiques from professors, gallery directors, collectors, or the dreaded comment section on social media, this episode will help you develop a strong filter—so you can take in what serves your work and let go of the rest.
