Art Critique Paradigm Country Farms Make Really Fun Purple Stools
Country CONTENT: What information does/did the artist choose to use? Choose to tell us, the viewer? What choices did the artist make? What do we SEE?
Farms FOCUS: Where are we looking? Is there a specific spot, or focal point, intended by the artist? How does the artist manipulate us as the viewer?
Make MOOD: Does the artist make us (the viewer) feel anything, get emotional? Examples, stances, facial expressions, gestures, clothing, lines, color, etc.
Really Realistic: Artist’s choose to make images optically realistic, or not? Why? What is the purpose of the artist’s decisions?
Fun Function: What was the artwork made for? Purpose? To tell a story? To show status? To be political?
Purple PATRON: Who was this piece made for and why do we care?
Stools SETTING: Where would the art live? In a cathedral? In a private tomb? In the middle of a city for all to see? In a gallery? Outdoors? Why do you think this is important?
