This document provides an overview of the critique process. It explains that a critique involves examining and evaluating creative works, which can be done alone, in small groups, or with large groups. Critiques are useful for understanding works, improving one's own work, and helping others. The rest of the document outlines different elements that can be critiqued, such as craftsmanship, the creator's ideas, comparisons to other works, emotional responses, questions, inspiration, formal principles, and connections to other works. It provides examples for each element and suggests ways critiques can be structured, such as through class discussions, partner work, self-evaluations, or written responses.
