This document outlines the four step process of art criticism: description, analysis, interpretation, and judgment. It explains that art criticism allows objective evaluation of artworks based on their formal elements and principles of design rather than just opinion. The four steps are: 1) Describe the size, medium, subject and use of elements. 2) Analyze the composition and use of principles of design. 3) Interpret the mood or meaning. 4) Judge whether the artwork is successful based on subject matter, content, or composition. Practicing this process helps develop skills for making informed decisions.

Art Criticism
This painting by Ahmad Fuad Osman titled "Recollections of Long Lost Memories #1" depicts the late Tunku Abdul Rahman and a modern teenager standing in front of a river landscape. It uses monochromatic colors for Tunku Abdul Rahman from the past and brighter colors for the teenager representing the present. The painting comments on how today's youth don't fully understand or appreciate the meaning of independence due to a lack of direct experience with the struggle, as they are more influenced by Western culture. It integrates images from the past and present to convey a message about historical perception versus modern reality.

Intro to art appreciation
Appreciation involves recognizing and understanding good qualities or a situation. It is recognizing qualities without necessarily liking or loving something. Art appreciation involves acquiring knowledge about artworks through understanding vocabulary, concepts, themes, processes and materials, as well as the context of the artwork, in order to recognize the good qualities without requiring personal liking. The history of art appreciation developed alongside art history in the 19th century as a way to teach morals and refine sensibilities, initially among elite men but later becoming popular among women as well.

7 how do you interpret an artwork
The document provides an overview of how to analyze and interpret artworks through a four step process: description, analysis, interpretation, and judgment. It discusses how art historical research helps provide context and external evidence to analyze what cannot be gleaned just from looking at the artwork. Interpretation involves uncovering what the artwork may mean based on description and analysis, though there are no definitive answers as artworks can mean different things to different people. The document also cautions that the artist's intention is not always a fixed idea and artworks are often meant to provoke thought rather than state a single meaning.

Art in the 19 th century
Art in the 19th century went through several major movements that reflected the social and political changes of the time. Romanticism emphasized emotion and individualism as a reaction to Neoclassicism. Realism emerged in response to the failures of 1848 and problems of industrialization, aiming to accurately depict reality. Impressionism focused on light and color, using short brushstrokes. Post-Impressionism and Symbolism explored new techniques. Modernism broke from tradition incorporating nature and technology. New materials like iron and glass influenced architecture.
Skill of Describing
This document provides guidance on describing works of art. It discusses the four components of a visual description: identification, subject matter description, stylistic analysis, and contextual analysis. For subject matter description, it emphasizes using descriptive details to allow the reader to visualize the work. A good description should go beyond just listing details to reveal something deeper about the "personality" of the work. It provides an example description and analyzes how it effectively portrays the subject as majestic through selective details and persuasive language. The document also briefly introduces stylistic analysis but notes further discussion will come later after students learn more.

Art Appreciation-Chapter3
The document discusses the basic design principles that artists use to create artworks: unity and variety, balance, emphasis and subordination, contrast, repetition and rhythm, and scale and proportion. It provides examples of how different artists have utilized these principles in their works through compositions, colors, shapes, sizes, and placement of elements. Mastering these design principles allows artists to effectively organize the visual tools in their toolbox to skillfully build artworks.
Art Criticism
The document discusses the concept of liberal arts education and how it aims to produce well-rounded citizens able to think critically and form their own opinions rather than defer to authority. It also examines different approaches to art criticism including formal analysis of visual elements, analyzing the socio-cultural context and values of a work, and interpreting the intentions and psychology of the artist. The document emphasizes that art has the power to both challenge and reinforce cultural values.
Art since 1945
After WWII, Abstract Expressionism became the first truly American art movement, centered in New York City. It featured gestural abstraction like Jackson Pollock's drip paintings and chromatic abstraction works by Mark Rothko using blocks of color. Meanwhile, Pop Art emerged in the 1960s as a reaction, appropriating imagery from popular culture in works like Richard Hamilton's collage. Sculpture also evolved through minimalism which emphasized objecthood over imagery in sculptures by artists like Donald Judd.

After WWII, American artists developed Abstract Expressionism, seeking to compete with European art. It had two major trends - Action Painting and Color Field painting. Action Painting by Pollock, de Kooning, and Kline used impulsive, irrational techniques. Color Field used large color surfaces without details. Minimalism emerged in the 1950s emphasizing simplicity and impersonality. Major artists included Judd, who made geometric wall elements, and Flavin, who sculpted with neon light. Pop Art referenced mass culture, with Warhol famously reproducing images through silkscreen printing.

It defines critiquing as a careful analysis and assessment, while criticizing refers to harsh disapproval based on faults. When critiquing materials, artists consider availability, accessibility, and affordability. When critiquing techniques, they consider appropriateness for the materials and artwork, the artist's mastery of the technique, and its practicality for the goals. The document provides examples of critiquing various materials and techniques based on these criteria.
Art Criticism.ppt
The document outlines a 4-step process for critiquing a piece of art: 1) Description - objectively describing the visual elements, subject, and composition; 2) Analysis - discussing how the elements work together based on principles of design; 3) Interpretation - determining the potential meaning or content based on cues from steps 1-2; and 4) Evaluation - assessing the quality and importance of the work using criteria like design quality, originality, and timelessness. The document provides an example application of this process to Renoir's painting "Luncheon of the Boating Party."

Art criticism
- 2. What is an art critic? What do you think of when you think of a critic? Do you think of someone who is mean and finds everything they can wrong with an artwork?
- 3. Anyone can be an art critic! Art criticism is the process of evaluating artworks. The process does not have to be negative. In art criticism you follow four steps to make a judgment about an artworks success.
- 4. Why art criticism? Art criticism allows you to judge an artwork more objectively. This allows you to make a judgment that is based on factual information instead of simply opinion. Making judgments based on fact instead of opinion is much stronger and more thorough way of looking at artworks. ?
- 5. When do I use art criticism? Art criticism is appropriate to use whenever you are asked to judge an artwork. With a few changes it could also be used to judge music, literature or drama. The process prepares you for making other judgments such as decisions about major purchases such as cars and homes. The more you practice making a educated informed judgment, the easier it will be for you to make important decisions!
- 6. Four Steps to Art Criticism Step One- Describing Step Two- Analyzing Step Three- Interpreting Step Four- Judging Click on any of the links above to jump directly to that step or just advance the slide show to go through each step individually!
- 7. Step 1- Describing In the first step you give a description of the artwork. You explain- Size, Medium, and Process (found in credit line of artwork!) Subject and Objects in the artwork (tell what you see) 3 Elements of Art (be sure to explain how the artist used them! For a reminder of the seven elements of art, use the following link to Mrs. England’s website to view an element of art PowerPoint! http://www.barren.kyschools.us/userfiles/1257/Classes/924/Element s%20of%20Art%208.ppt Back to Steps!
- 8. Step 2- Analyzing In this step you explain how the artist organized the artwork (the composition.) Choose three principles of design and be sure to explain how the artist used them with the elements of art!! For a reminder of some of the principles of design follow the link below to Mrs. England’s webpage for a PowerPoint on the principles of design! http://www.barren.kyschools.us/userfiles/1257/Classes /924/Principles%20of%20Design.ppt Back to Steps
- 9. Step 3- Interpreting In this step you explain the mood or meaning of an artwork. Be sure to explain and justify your answer, don’t just put “the artwork looks sad”! Back to Steps
- 10. Step 4- Judging In the final step you make a judgment of whether or not the artwork is successful based on one of three aesthetic views- View #1- Subject- The artwork is successful only if it is realistic. View #2- Content- The artwork is successful if it creates a strong mood or feeling. View #3- Composition- The artwork is successful if the artist successfully used the elements and principles together to make a good composition. Remember you only pick one view and you justify you answer!! Back to Steps
- 11. Now you try! Use the artwork on the next slide to complete the four step art criticism process!! For even more practice follow the link below to Mark Harden’s Artchive website, choose your favorite artist and artwork and try it out! http://www.artchive.com/ftp_site.htm
