Art Criticism

1. Which projects did you review?

 I reviewed all of the class' projects in order to make an informed decision about which project I wanted to work with.  I viewed Jennifer Jeffers' "Seeing People in Many Art Forms," "The Depths of the Imagination: Surrealism Through the Ages" by Natalie Korchowsky, and "Anthropology in Art" by Sheldon Anderson. 






2. Why did you select the Exhibit you critiqued?


I selected "Seeing People in Many Art Forms" because I found myself really drawn to the artworks included i the exhibit.  I loved the abstract representations off the human form, and thought that I would like to have some of the works displayed in my own home.  I also enjoyed the use of color among the works.

3. What challenges did you face in writing the critique article and how did you overcome them?

I always have a hard time with bracketing.  It was hard for me to draw references and similarities between the works and the outside world.  Also, I found it hard to add the critique into the article because I did not wish to offend the "curator."  I overcame both of these issues by researching for bracketing and carefully phrasing my critique.

4. How do you feel about critiquing your peers work?

As I mentioned before, I feel bad when critiquing my peers' work.  I never want to cut someone down or say something that would offend.  I know how hard I worked on my project, and how hard they must have worked on theirs, so I feel awkward critiquing it. 

5. Would you like to read the critique your peers wrote about your Art Curation Project?

I would love to read the critique from my peers' because I believe that constructive criticism helps you to move forward and improve.

6. On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your finished article and why?


I would rate my finished article a 9 because there is always room for improvement.

7. Did you enjoy working on this project?

I enjoyed working on this project because I really liked to see how my peers interpreted the assignment and constructed their projects.
