Critique
Overview
Critique is the process of analyzing and assessing a work of art, interpreting its meaning and evaluating if it communicates effectively. In our class, we will use critique to look at one another's work and help one another further develop their work. This exercise helps us improve our communications skills and gives us insight in how to improve our artwork. This is a standard professional practice for artists, similar to a peer review.
Critiques are done mid-way through art projects and at the end of an art project.
