Why Giving and Getting Feedback is Critical for Good Writing

 

I personally believe that giving and receiving feedback is the quickest way for a group of people to grow and learn together. Feedback is a two-way street that helps both the person who is giving the feedback and the one who is receiving it. The way it helps the person receiving it is fairly obvious, that person gets constructive feedback that helps them better their work. It is very easy to glance over mistakes or things that do not sound quite right while writing if you are the only one both writing and reading the work. Having an extra pair of eyes to look over your work can help you find things you would have missed if you were proofreading on your own. Overall getting feedback is one of the most effective ways to revise a work of writing. However, feedback does not just help the person receiving it, it can also be large help to whoever is giving the feedback. Often times when people are proofreading each other’s papers, they are working on the same assignment. Reading the work of others can help inspire you and find better ways of constructing your own work. Even if the two people are not working on the same project there is always something that can be learned from reading someone else’s writing. Even if it is not on the same topic or prompt, reading others’ writing can help you better figure out how to format yours. It also gives you the chance to step away from your own work to see the big picture. I believe that giving and receiving feedback is a critical part of creating effective writing.

I have found that many of the works in this category fall into one of two types. The first type being history books. These books tell the story of a mix of an art styles, or artists. The other type is an exploration of art. These can span various topics such as the theology of a specific style or a commentary on what it means to make art and why we do it. I found it really cool to see the interdisciplinary work being done between writing and other arts just as painting and drawing. It is really interesting when two mediums of art are combined. I also think the topics discussed are very interesting. I really enjoy reading about how the art of a time period impacted it’s history and vice versa. The other type is a little harder for me to understand but I still find it interesting to see how these art works would be described in ...

  The arts that I have been a part of for most of my life are a variety of movement arts. While I enjoy consuming a variety of mediums of art the art that I personally create is pretty much all under the movement arts umbrella. The first and definitely the movement art I have spent the most time is martial arts. I have been studying martial arts for eleven years, starting with karate.

My time training exclusively karate ended about two years ago when one of my teachers began teaching me shaolin kung fu. This gave me an entirely new avenue to explore my martial arts and lead to me starting an entirely new kung fu style, wushu, in Boston when I started college last year. I have been going back and practicing a lot of my old material while waiting for Covid ...
