  1. Art History Critique Art 1

  2. Protocol • Everyday (or close to everyday) we will be practicing the art of LOOKING. • We need to be specificwith what we are looking at. Never be vague.

  3. 1. Credit Line • Name, title, date, media, size, museum/gallery/location • This information gives us a lot of clues about the work and gives credit to the artist and location.

  4. Description Paragraph • Yes, paragraph. At least three (3) sentences are required. Be specific! • What do you see? • Describe in detail objects, people, colors, lack of colors, shapes, text, etc.

  5. Analysis • What does the artwork mean? • What is the artist trying to tell us? • What does the artist want us to see/know/feel? • What is the story? Is there a story? • What is the mood (feeling)?

  6. Personal Response Paragraph • Yes, paragraph (again). • Do you like the work? Why? Why not? • Explain your opinion and why you have that opinion.

  7. Thumbnail Sketch • Don’t freak out, it does not have to be a perfect replica. • The drawing does however need to resemble the work of art. • Pay attention to placement, overlapping, line • Don’t worry about color, this is only with pen/pencil.
