This document provides guidance on critiquing works of art through constructive criticism and positive feedback. It explains that critiques have four main components: description, analysis, interpretation, and judgment. Description involves objectively noting technical and formal qualities of the work, while analysis examines how elements are composed and relate to each other. Interpretation explores how the work makes the viewer think and feel. Judgment presents an opinion on the work's success based on stated criteria. The document also provides an example student critique and self-evaluation form to guide students in critiquing their own works.
