“I’m trapped in a cage with people reaching at me, but I’m the one holding the keys”

“your defining the meaning of sucess,at the end of the day your the one looking in the mirror seeing what you become”

This basically means for me to help myself and see my own success in a way I want it to be, but I need to see myself and need to look if thats who I want to be truly.

I love how the only light exposure is his/her eyes.

This one is impressive to me because of the camera direction making his hands a perfect fit for his face.

This one i like the most out of the other two because there is actually a light bulb being exposer and reveals one side of this persons face.

art. Each of the Elements is important. When looking at a work of art, see if you can identify which Elements of Art the artist stressed, organized or used to express a message or to create a mood.

• Art Criticism: Art criticism is responding to, interpreting meaning, and making critical judgments about specific works of art.

2. When Critiquing you must use the following four steps/slides in sequence!
3. The Four Steps:
   1. Describe
   2. Analyze
   3. Interpret
   4. Evaluate/Judgement

Step One: Description

• FIRST- Write down the Title, Author, Date and Style of the Artwork.
• Make a list of all the things they you see in the work.
• Describe the subject matter.  (What it is about, what is happening, if there is no subject describe the elements)
• Do not make any kind of judgment about the work. 
• It is Important to carefully, non-judgmentally observe the art.
• Step Two: Analysis

• Pay close attention to which art elements the artist used. Line, Shape, Color, Value, Texture & Space.  (Form is 3-d and will not apply to painting critiques)

• LOOK for ways the elements were used to organize the composition by noting the principles of art:  rhythm, balance, movement, proportion, variety, emphasis, and unity.

Step Three: Interpretation

• List any feelings or moods you get from the artwork. This is the part that you interpret what the meaning of the artwork is. 

• Think creatively and imaginatively at this stage. 

• Base your interpretation on what you’ve concluded in the first two steps of the critique process.

Step Four: Judgment/Evaluation

• Decide whether the work is successful or has merit is it important. 

• Support your judgment with evidence from the first three steps.
