  • FOUR STEPS IN ART CRITICISM:
    1. Description
    2. Analysis
    3. Interpretation
    4. Judgement
  • DESCRIPTION
    Tell what you see (the visual facts). Our minds naturally take notice of
    the general information that is present.
  • ANALYSIS
    In this step consider the most significant art principles that were used in the artwork. Describe how the artist used them to organize the elements.
  • INTERPRETATION
    seeks to explain the meaning of the work based on what you have learned so far about the artwork, what do you think the artist was trying to say?
  • JUDGEMENT
    This is your personal evaluation based on the understandings of the works(s).
