Group Critique

I got to show my group and Viktor the idea I'm working on. It's a triptych of how we leave behind ideals as we go through life, and in our old age look back to see we didn't get much out of our compromised lives. It's told by paintings of one man's experience, but is hopefully flexible enough to be relatable.

Viktor decided the triptych had too much narrative, and the meaning of the piece became obvious too quickly. My peers seemed to like what I was doing. I appreciated what my group had to say as well as Viktor's feedback. If I had to choose between the two, I'd rather have my piece seem too obvious than seem like an unintelligible mess (which I feel like I could make too easily). I'll try different changes and see if I like one.
