Discussion For Todays Lesson, we will be going about :Critiquing an Artwork”

An art critique is a detailed analysis and evaluation of a work of art. Different

people may have different interpretations of a single artwork and they may
have varying reactions to it but to achieve a more detailed, thoughtful critique,
a few basic guidelines could be used. These guidelines are the components of
(or the stages in writing) an art critique. These components are description,
analysis, interpretation and judgment.
 Components of an Art Critique
1. Description: the visual facts An art critique can be written by first providing
some basic information about the artwork like the title of the work, artist’s
name, when the piece was created, where it was made, the types of media
used to create the work (e.g., oil paint on canvas), and the exact size of the
work. When describing the artwork, use neutral terms and be objective. Your
description should include things like form and scale of the artwork. For
example, you might say,

“This is a huge landscape painting of a volcano, showing thick clouds around it,
with an orange sky in the background. Down in the foreground are green rice
terraces and 3 men walking on the paddies…”

Avoid using adjectives like “beautiful” or “ugly”. At this point, you are not
judging, you are simply talking about what you see. This is also the part where
you describe the artwork in terms of the elements of art used. What kinds of
colors do you see? Are there lines in the work? If so, what kinds of lines are
they? What sort of textures do you see? What are the shapes used?

2. Analysis: the use of design principles

Discuss how the artwork uses the principles of design. In this step consider the
most significant art principles (discussed in the previous modules) that are used
in the artwork. Describe how the artist used them to organize the elements:
Balance, Contrast, Movement, and Proportion. The following questions may
guide you:
• Balance: How do the colors, lines, shapes, and textures work together? Are
they balanced and harmonious or is the artwork imbalanced in some way?
• Contrast: Does the work use contrasting colors and textures?
• Movement: Do you notice a particular movement in terms of patterns and
variations of lines, shapes, and colors in the artwork? What is It?
• Proportion: Do the sizes of the elements appear the way you would expect?
Using the rule of thirds, what do you think is the subject of the piece? What is
its focal point? Try to identify which parts of the work are emphasized. In
addition, look for the themes in the work and discuss how the artist used the
elements of art (line, color, shape, etc.) to express these themes. Themes might
include things like symbolism and religious or mythological imagery, or the use
of a particular color scheme to give the work a particular mood or meaning.

3. Interpretation: the meaning of the artwork

An interpretation seeks to explain the meaning of the work based on what you
have learned so far about the piece. What do you think is the message behind
this artwork? What do you think the artist is trying to convey? In the first
component (Description), you have to be objective. In this component, you can
be a little more subjective. Use expressive language to discuss your reaction to
the artwork. For example, does the artwork depict a particular mood like
sadness, hope, peace? Would you describe the work as beautiful or ugly?
Backup your interpretation with examples from your description and analysis.
For example,
“I think this painting is a visual metaphor of the sufferings of the Filipinos
during the Spanish colonial period. This is indicated by the dark color scheme
used in the painting, figuratively depicting the dark era of our history...”
 4. Judgment: personal evaluation
This is your personal evaluation based on your understanding of the artwork.
• Decide whether you think the work is successful or not.
• Explain how you are judging the work.
• Summarize why you think it is successful or unsuccessful. For example,
“I believe this work is successful because the use of light, shape, and texture all
work together harmoniously to portray the mood of the subject.”

Here are a few questions to consider:

• Do you think the work says what the artist wanted it to say?
• Did the artist use their tools and techniques well?
• Why do you think this work has intrinsic value or worth?
• Do you find that the work communicates an idea, feeling or principle that
would have value for others?

Analysis Below is an example of an art critique. (Taken from

The Weeping Woman Pablo Picasso

France, 1937 Description: The
Weeping Woman is a painting
finished by Pablo Picasso in France,
1937. This type of artwork can be
considered to be expressionism.
There isn’t an actual background
scene in the painting. The background is completed with different lines and
colors. The woman is the focus point of this painting. She is wearing an
accessory on top of her head which demonstrates her elegance. My first
impression of the artwork is that the face of the woman is not proportionate
and is only painted with lines, no curves. The main colors that are used in this
painting are green, yellow, blue, purple, red and black. The painting is set
mainly of lined and little curves. The mood and visual effect that this painting
portrays can be considered to be suffering, and sadness.

Analyze:
The colors that the author uses can be considered to be quite different as each
color conveys a separate impression. The light purple that begins at the bottom
top of the woman’s eyes can convey sadness. The other half of the face is
mainly covered in green and yellow; these can be said to interpret other solid
emotions that the painter must have towards this woman as she was a vital
character in Picasso’s life. The painting is created with mainly lines which can
mean that the woman had strong physical features or that her different
emotions were felt passionately as lines are usually seen as strong technical
elements. The only curves that are being used are for her hair and eyes. The
eyes look quite down or depressive. This is because the woman is crying, which
goes back to the main mood which is suffering.

Interpretation:
I believe that Picasso wanted the audience to feel pain and provide a statement
that explains how all women feel and the agony that they are consistently in.
The audience can see that the woman has peeled away her flesh by corrosive
 tears to reveal her white bones. The handkerchief she tries to stuff in her
mouth seems as a shard of glass. This vivid image can convey pain and hurting.
Picasso has expressed the behavior of this woman several times and often
describes the constant tears that fall off her eyes. So, the feeling conveyed by
the artwork is definitely suffering. Picasso wanted us to feel her and
understand the pain that she was going through. It was not easy to be a
woman during that time since females where often frowned upon. Picasso
demonstrates the appreciation that he has for her through this painting as he
wants the audience to understand her.

Judge:
Finally, the artist’s value may be to evoke pain, as mentioned previously.
This is due to the colors that Picasso used and the shapes that he draws; not
only these technical elements but also the images that the painter uses within
the actual face of the woman. The painting relates to the entire female
community. This community can understand the painting and know what
Picasso was trying to portray. Every woman is able understand and
comprehend the message behind this painting as we all feel the same way at
one point in our lives. I believe that this is a strong value in the painting. The
weak value lies in the different colors that the painter chooses. I found it
confusing to interpret other areas of the face as the colors that were used
didn’t seem to match other locations of the face.
