Handout of Critiquing Principles
The following handout, intended for students, serves as a guide for participating in critique.
The Critique
Definition
Discussion of artwork involving student and teacher interaction and dialogue to discuss merits and drawbacks of an artistic solution to a specific problem.
Artistic and Aesthetic Principles
The tools and vocabulary words that make up the content of the piece and the ability to discuss it.
Personal Taste
The liking of things without any reason other than emotional response or opinions you have decided upon.
Following the Directions
Sometimes a project has “pushed” the boundaries of the limitation and is very successful. This is allowed on occasion and not allowed at other times. Follow directions and limitation, but “push” your creativity to the maximum amount of your ability.
Follow these ideas in a critique
1. Does this project solve the problem well?
2. Does this project have the correct colors and design principles required?
3. Are all the limitations given at the beginning of the assignment followed and adhered to?
4. What one thing could you do to improve this piece if you could do it over again?
