April's Group Critique

 

 The Midwest Collage Society wasn't able to have our guest Artist in at this time so we opted to do a Self Critique of our work with all our abilities our Education Chair came up with a great idea and divided us up into four groups we each shared about a piece we were in process or done with. The Chatter was good and loud and went on the whole meeting so it must have been a good everyone left with a smile on there face and ready for the next meeting.
