Critiquing the Crit

This project led by Margo Blythman at London College of Communication, University of Arts, London, aimed to examine and critique the 'Crit' as a teaching and learning method through collection and analysis of the experience and views of the sector.

The aims were to make a contribution to the development of teaching and learning in art and design through identifying how to build on the strengths of the 'Crit', how to minimise weaknesses, collect examples of good practice and produce staff development materials, some of which can also be used with students.

In addition to the project report, a student handbook, staff development materials and staff handbook were produced.
