The document provides an overview of the four steps of art criticism: description, analysis, interpretation, and judgment. It includes examples of applying these steps to various artworks, such as Hughie Lee-Smith's "The Piper" from 1953 and Vincent Van Gogh's "The Starry Night" from 1889. The steps involve describing visual elements, analyzing use of design principles, interpreting the artist's message, and making a judgment on the work. Pablo Picasso's anti-war painting "Guernica" from 1937 is then presented as an example for the reader to practice applying the description step.
