Art Criticism: How to Criticize a Work of Art / A four step process This is what I give my students as a guide to art appreciation: 1. Description- What do I see? Study the work in detail carefully. Describe the work in full detail. Be factual. Mention everything you see. 2. Analysis- How is the work organized? Look for and talk about the elements and principles of art and design that seems to dominate the work. Look at how the artist has used The Elements of Art / • Lines- real and implied, curved and straight, direction of movement / • Shapes, Space, Forms- Are the shapes geometric or free-form? Where is the horizon? Where is your point of view as the viewer? (Above, below, in the work, or outside) / • Colors- Warm, cool, bright, dull, soft, bold, etc. / • Value- light: reflecting much light; dark: absorbing much light. / • Texture-Both the medium and the objects portrayed: rough, smooth, shinny, dull Look at The Principles of Design / • Rhythm- Are there repeats of elements or images? / • Movement- Is there an illusion of action? How does the eye move around the work? / • Balance- Formal or Symmetrical, informal or asymmetrical / • Proportion- The size relationships between one part to the whole or one part to another part / • Variety- Visual difference and contrast within the work / • Emphasis- What part is dominant, and what part is subordinate? / • Unity- Does the work hold together? 3. Interpretation- What is happening? This is more than storytelling. As in literature, you need to interpret and generalize from data given. You need to find the metaphor or allegory in the work. What is the artist trying to communicate? Use your intelligence, imagination and courage to explain and tell the meaning of the work. This is based on the facts you have observed and your own life experiences. You can express your feelings, but they must be backed up by the observations you have made about the work. 4. Judgment- What do I think of the work? Does the work hold together visually? Does it communicate with the viewer? Judge whether the work succeeds or fails. You give your opinion backed by the three steps above. To make a judgment, you need to be honest with yourself. You need to know why you feel the way you do. Three Theories of Judging Art Imitationalism -Some people believe that art should imitate what we see in the real world. / Formalism – Some people believe that the most important part of a work is in the use of the principles of design and the elements of art. A work is successful if the texture, color, lines, etc are organized properly. / Emotionalism – Some people believe that the most important part of the work is the mood the artist communicates. Perhaps it is best to use all three theories when judging a work of art. Adapted from many sources, including Arttalk by Rosalind Ragans

Golden Apollo, that thro’ heaven wide / Scatter’st the rays of light, and truth’s beams, / In lucent words my darkling verses dight, / And wash my earthy mind in thy clear streams, / That wisdom may descend in fairy dreams, / All while the jocund hours in thy train / Scatter their fancies at thy poet’s feet; / And when thou yields to night thy wide domain, / Let rays of truth enlight his sleeping brain. / For brutish Pan in vain might thee assay / With tinkling sounds to dash thy nervous verse, / Sound without sense; yet in his rude affray, / (For ignorance is Folly’s leasing nurse / And love of Folly needs none other’s curse) / Midas the praise hath gain’d of lengthen’d ears, / For which himself might deem him ne’er the worse / To sit in council with his modern peers, / And judge of tinkling rimes and elegances terse. Words by William Blake Painting using wax, inks, pigment and graphite / 100×42cm / Music / La tristesse des anges (The Sadness of the Angels)

Acrylic finished with gloss varnish on canvas board, 12” x 16. This sent shivers up my spine when I first sketched this. It is inspired by the work of the old masters. Detail / Immediately I knew what this painting was all about and what the Lord desired to convey as it is just as important a message as is His great love. Luke 13:24-27 Strive to enter by the narrow gate; for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter, and shall not be able. But when the master of the house shall be gone in, and shall shut the door, you shall begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us. And he answering, shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are. Then you shall begin to say: we have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. And he shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
