"How do you tell your creative friends that their work sucks"


  

          

It soooo much easier to say "that's cool" and keep it moving. Is that being a bad friend though?

And I am only talking about when they ask. I don't think I would volunteer criticizing unless they ask.

Nov 05th 2015

Notes are for good stuff that can be improved. Hard to give notes to bad
Nov 05th 2015

Nov 05th 2015

Nov 05th 2015
12

Nov 05th 2015

im not a customer...so if they ask me my opinion I'm honest
Nov 05th 2015
5
Break weed up on top of their artwork or mixtape cover
Nov 05th 2015
7
subtle.
Nov 05th 2015

Nov 05th 2015
9
using it as a coaster is another technique
Nov 05th 2015
41
      also, using the CD insert as a dustpan, tho that's a little too blatant
Nov 05th 2015
53
Does it actually suck, or do you just not understand or like it?

critiquing art is always opinion based. So it always comes down to whet...
Nov 05th 2015
13
      critiquing art is not always opinion based.
Nov 05th 2015
      and in much art, there is also craft
Nov 05th 2015
15
           exactly.
Nov 05th 2015
16
      it's not that subjective. you simply don't have the backgroun
Nov 05th 2015
17
           Well that depends who you are making your art for.
Nov 05th 2015
25
           yeah, people should know better than to ask general audiences.
Nov 05th 2015
30
                Well if you are making art for general audience consumption...
Nov 05th 2015
33
           I think you're focusing too much on visual art
Nov 05th 2015
29
                most people may be able to tell when most are bad
Nov 05th 2015
35
                I think the same goes for a lot of visual art? Artist blaming the audien...
Nov 05th 2015
37
                     nah, the audience is wrong a lot of times.
Nov 05th 2015
39
                          I think artist should know there audiences.
Nov 05th 2015
47
                               nobody can convince me "hotline bling" is good art.
Nov 05th 2015
49
                                    "hotline bling" is really not good
Nov 05th 2015
51
                                         it's the worst song i've heard in quite a while.
Nov 05th 2015
52
                                              you old bags can't even hear good anymore. get the hell outta here.
Nov 05th 2015

Nov 05th 2015
11
You probably have no business telling them...
Nov 05th 2015
14
collectively, listeners are not usually right about how to fix it...
Nov 05th 2015
18
right so if your kid is practicing piano and they're not good
Nov 05th 2015
21
i am a musician.
Nov 05th 2015
28
There is technical prowess versus artistic expression.
Nov 05th 2015
32
      my advice is usually, "you need to listen more."
Nov 05th 2015
36
           Well you need to help me find my Karaoke song cuz my singing sucks.
Nov 05th 2015
43
^^^Well put.
Nov 05th 2015
27
i still disagree with your point about "shit music."
Nov 05th 2015
31
      What's my point about "shit" music?
Nov 05th 2015
34
           that "notes are for good music that can be improved."
Nov 05th 2015
38
                Fair enough. Let's test it out. Give some feedback on this...
Nov 05th 2015
40
                     the instrumental really isn't bad.
Nov 05th 2015
45
                          Cuz the lyrics suck right!?!?!?!?
Nov 05th 2015

Rather have a non-artist say "I don't like it" then try to critique
Nov 05th 2015
20
      i don't like that approach for kids.
Nov 05th 2015
26
      Good point. The only real feedback a non-artist can give is whether the...
Nov 05th 2015
42
you don't, it's art. fck around & catch the vapors...
Nov 05th 2015
22
give them a compliment then say "it's not for me"
Nov 05th 2015
24
Tell them something positive about it
Nov 05th 2015
44

Nov 05th 2015

Nov 05th 2015

Be as honest as possible.
Nov 05th 2015
56

Nov 05th 2015
57
