I think "technique knowledge" is exactly the reason non quilters aren't chosen to judge art quilt shows. No matter what people say technique plays into a piece and there is a bias out there that thinks a non quilter could not tell good technique. I agree with with Elizabeth that this is untrue. I go for a the happy medium of both quilters and non quilters judging. I mean - everyone has an opinion of good art - if you're willing to put your work out there to be judge - then let it be judge by different eyes!Nina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-47757157435798338382009-02-20T15:12:00.000-08:002009-02-20T15:12:00.000-08:00I think any good critic would definitely include c...I think any good critic would definitely include craftsmanship into his judgment of a piece; I went round a show with a juror who was a photography curator and he rejected a metal sculpture because of the poor welding technique.<BR/>I think a difficult technique would only be appropriate if it was Necessary to the overall composition and meaning of the piece.Elizabeth Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928615247903165719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-43197892014262145582009-02-20T14:14:00.000-08:002009-02-20T14:14:00.000-08:00Do you think they are judging on techniques such a...Do you think they are judging on techniques such as stitch quality and difficulty, bindings, tension etc. some of which an art critic would not know what he should be looking for or the importance of it unless schooled first?Barbara Strobel Lardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314713622021695107noreply@blogger.com
