For this assignment, you will play the role of art critic and write a review after attending the opening of an Impressionist exhibit in Paris, France. You need to determine if the painting you selected deserves to be given a place in the Louvre Museum of Art. You must be sure to justify your decision and not let your own personal taste influence you. You will use the four-step process of critiquing art to help you write this critique. Select 1 work of art by one of the following artists. Copy the piece of art from the chosen artist into a Word document. Include the name of the artist, the title of the art work, the materials used, and the year it was created.
- Mary Cassatt
- Pierre-Auguste Renoir
- Claude Monet
- Edgar Degas
- Berthe Morisot
- Gustave Caillebotte
- Use
the four steps to critiquing art that are found in Chapter 9 of the
Embracing Art textbook to develop a critique of the work. Be sure that
you write a well-developed paragraph on each of the four areas, pointing
to specific areas in the painting in your explanation:
- Description: Give the facts about the work of art.
- Analysis: Describe some of the elements of art and principles of design that are used.
- Interpretation: After researching the work of art, what do you feel the message of the work is?
- Evaluation: Based on everything you just described, you will give your own evaluation of the work and determine if the work deserves to be called a work of art.
