Art Blog: Art Critic

For This week’s blog you will be playing the role of an art critic. This is a two part blog where you will be
researching examples of art reviews, and where you will be creating your own critique.
Determining the quality of a work of art can be a very subjective activity. While I may love an artist’s work, you
may not. You are certainly entitled to dislike a work of art, or to like a work of art, but it is important to be able to
express why you respond to a piece the way that you do. Now that you have read chapter 5, you have learned
more about the theories of art criticism.
For The first part of this blog you will find an article (online) written by a professional art critic (be sure to
include the a link). Give a synopsis of the art critic’s ideas, and explain which theories the critic is utilizing.
For the second part of your blog, you will give your own criticism of the work from the professional review. Do
you agree with the art Critic? If so, why? Utilize the design terms you’ve learned when evaluating the works of
art.
