 While it is true that artistic taste is relative, there are certain characteristics of artwork that can be assessed as a means of measuring the artist’s success at conveying the intended message or meaning of the work in question. Art criticism is considered by some to be an art within itself, but, although each art critique may approach a work of art uniquely, there is a defined protocol for the discipline of critiquing a work of art. You do not have to be an art history buff or museum curator to learn how to critique artwork— following defined methods for critiquing will help you to get it right.

Critiquing

1.) Describe what you see.

This is the objective portion of the art critique. It involves a technical description- nothing more. It should include things like:

Artist’s name

Title of work

Type of artwork

Subject of the painting (scene)

objects in the painting

First impression—note the characteristics of the artwork that first jump out at you

Colors used

Shapes, lines and texture 

Light saturation 

Sensory qualities— identify the predominant mood and visual effect.

2.) Analyze the artwork.

Evolve the art criticism from a technical description to an in-depth examination of how the technical elements were utilized by the artist to create the overall impression conveyed by the artwork. Technical elements you need to analyze when you critique artwork include: 

Color

Shapes, forms, and lines

Texture

Light and shadow

How each technical element contributes to the mood, meaning and aesthetic sensation of the artwork.

3.) Interpret the artwork. 

This part of an art critique is more subjective than the others as you are expected to use your analysis of the technical aspects of the piece of art to apply your supposition to the artist’s intended purpose for the artwork. Try to accomplish the following things when formulating your interpretation:

Communicate the artist’s statement. Describe what you think the artist is trying to say through the work of art

Expound on the feeling conveyed by the artwork. Describe what the artwork means to you, and why.

Explain what you feel is the artist’s intended purpose for creating that particular work of art. Examine why the artist made the choices in technique, materials and subject matter and how they relate to the intended purpose.

Identify symbols in the artwork and describe how they relate to the artist’s technical choices and contribute to the artist’s execution of the intended purpose.

4.) Evaluate the artwork.

This is a summation of the art criticism process leading up to this point. Use your analysis and interpretation to draw conclusions and reach judgements about the artwork.

State what you think the artwork’s value is. For example, its value may be to evoke nostalgia, to incite anger or to impart beauty. Explain why you feel this way.

Describe the artwork’s relevance to the art community and to people as a whole

Explain where you feel the artwork has strong value and where you think it falls short

Remember, there are no incorrect descriptions when you critique artwork. Your goal is not to say whether or not the art is good, but rather to impart as best you can the visceral response the artwork incites.

Use art vocabulary in your art critique.

Why are complementary colors important?

Complementary colors are located directly across from each other on the colorwheel. Complementary pairs contrast because they share no common colors. For example, red and green are complements, because green is made of blue and yellow.
