1. The Art Critique process - Describe: First, you must describe what you see in the piece. You can identify the mediums and techniques used. Also you can identify the genre or style of the piece and explain everything you know about it. -Analyze: Determine what different lines and shapes are used. You can look for a center of unity or the point of the piece that "catches your eye". You can also look for unity through repetition in the piece. -Interpret: Next in the process, you should determine what is going on in the piece. What is the purpose of it and what is the artist trying to say through the artwork? -Decide/Evaluate: Lastly, you should explain if you like this piece and why. Also, you should figure out what the worst and best elements of the piece are. State whether or not you think the artist is successful and why. 2. Before Piece 3. Recent/improved piece The piece i chose for my more recent artwork is from our "Walk in my Shoes" project. I chose to critique this project because of the various skills i used to create it. I got the idea for my piece as soon as i heard the title for our project. I immediately thought of my favorite pair of shoes that i wear almost all the time. I wanted to start out with a streaked blue background, since it is my favor color. I then began to work on the body and shoes and make them proportional to each other. I painted the jeans to look like an actual denim wash and for the shirt i used the fabric technique i learned from our warm-ups. The different shadows and highlights allow for the layered look that the clothing in the piece has. I then worked on the suitcase with all of the clothes and items falling out. I also used the same technique for the clothes in the suitcase. The suitcase represents how i have moved various times over the years, and the items in the suitcase also represent things i like to do. I think these items really add to my theme of my history and complete the piece all together.
