My thoughts about our first week of the WOX Steemit Engagement challenge

in hive-185836 •  2 years ago 

I think it should not be forgotten that we are part of a team with a status, the status of teacher and judge. If you comment as a teacher and even more so as a member of the jury, that comment must always be consistent with that position. Starting with the assumption that that is what the participants expect to get from an expert.
If the participant wants to start a carrier or not, is not our concern and we don't know it.
Still, a thoughtful comment can always be fun if you want it.
Another thing is when you comment on other conditions.

Again, I think it depends.
Some art is just made for the challenge, I do not want to get too technical about brightness values, edges, composition, and so on for just a simple thing, when the structure is not correct, and nothing is right about it.
If someone makes an effort, that is good enough for me. If it is more advanced, then yes.

It is clear that we are not going to reach an agreement. We have different approaches to what teaching is, and also different degrees of commitment. Maybe I didn't explain my position well. I'm not talking about giving a complicated technical explanation, I'm talking about the respect that every participant deserves of an evaluation with a minimal explanation of the reasons for it by a professional who judges their participation (as was also announced). We do not know about the motivation of people to participate in the challenge, we do not know their age, their intellectual level, their education or their level of knowledge, but we know and decide how to participate as professionals. In addition, giving a simple but coherent explanation of our assessment, whether positive or negative, also speaks of the respect and appreciation we have for our own work.

Of course. That is the beauty of humanity. Different opinions and way of action.
Clearly, you are a valuable addition to the community. I am with you.
We just roll differently.
I have 35K to 50K visitors per month in my international website, and 5.5-7.5K per month in my Hebrew website.
You can imagine the amount of emails I get. I reply them ALL (except spam).

I have 61K followers on Pinterest.
If you scroll the comments I get, it will take forever and ever, and then some. I replied ALL!

In my Instagram, I help anybody who wants. They call me sir and master, and thank me for my help.
I tell them I am not sir, I am Ran, and I love what I am doing, so it is ok.

You can see the work of my students. They love me. I am demanding, but I give them all I got.

And, as you can see, when there is something to reply, I do it thoroughly.
As I was saying, we operate in different ways, and it is great.
As you said, we are like complementary colors. Maybe you did not say it exactly like that :)

Hi Ran,
Thank you very much for this extensive list with many K's to impress me, many of these can be bought (I'm not saying it's your case). 😂
Yes, we just roll differently. I have never been interested in building a network of thousands of followers, I prefer to dedicate myself modestly to my painting and share what I have learned when I have the opportunity.
Congratulations on the love you receive from your students!

Love from my students is the best.
My followers cannot be bought. It takes a lot of years and effort.
Bought things online are useless, and I do not like useless things.
We will learn to work together.

I agree with you, absolutely! Have a nice day.
