ABSTRACT
Critical Response Process (CRP) allows social science researchers to winnow through that opinion to find the most useful to that purpose, as statements of meaning in step one, as honest responses that bear directly on artist's questions in step two, or as the motivator to neutral questions in step three. Online classrooms change in our perception of process has radically repositioned the concept of work-in-progress from the artist’s secretive purview to a focus of public engagement, from a forum of feints, failures, and red pencil to a generative laboratory. Work-in-progress has come out of its closet: rather than a focus for shame, apology, and inadequacy, it stands as an emblem for progress. Artist where CRP departs from many traditions in critique in which artists are either charged to keep silent or placed in a position to defend while other participants in the conversation are free to offer responses unchecked by reflection or any measure of the artist's own perspective.
