Our art is personal so sometimes receiving feedback can feel overwhelming. In this episode, Jeffrey and Joseph talk about how to give and receive comments beyond \\u201cit was good,\\u201d or \\u201cit was bad.\\u201d They outline four steps to help get and give useful responses: give permission, set specific parameters, have a limit, and evaluate what was helpful.

\\n\\n

Consume: Read up on Liz Lerman\\u2019s Critical Response Process

\\n\\n

Create: Write (and record if you\\u2019re a podcaster) a 2-minute piece (that\\u2019s about 200-250 words) about a fight between two people. Don\\u2019t work it too much. When you post it:

\\n\\n

1. Ask for feedback

\\n\\n

2. Set parameters for what feedback you want

\\n\\n

3. Limit the feedback to an exact number of responses

\\n\\n

4. Thank your responders once you\\u2019ve reached that number

\\n\\n

Then go and give feedback to someone else who\\u2019s given permission for responses.

\\n\\n

Be respectful of your own and other people\\u2019s limits.
