Objective: Take part in a cultural virtual museum outing and find an artwork to analyze: You will use Feldman’s Method of Art Criticism, and create a Slide show using all four Steps.
1. Take a screenshot of three pieces you like.(these are your proof of attendance) You will only present 1.
2. Create a Presentation using PowerPoint example below as a guide.
3. Record yourself Presenting. (When you are presenting remember to address the work in the third person.)
Must have a picture of the work in your presentation.
Work cited slide with a link to your selected work and a virtual museum must be included.
(only research the piece) you will have to tell us what the piece is really about.(in step 4 of Feldman’s Method)
Your presentation should be an informative and objective presentation.
FELDMAN METHOD OF ART CRITICISM
Describe, Analyze, Interpretation, Judgement
A quick reference to help understand, appreciate, and analyze art. How to look at and critique art using the four components of artistic criticism.
Step 1: (no research yet, you will provide detailed observation first.)
Describe: Tell what you see (the visual facts).
Descriptive words about artwork are like pointers; they draw attention to something
worth seeing – so remember that the words that you use must be NEUTRAL. Do not use
terms that denote value judgments, such as beautiful, disorderly, funny looking,
harmonious, etc. Instead, focus on factual information, such as smooth, round,
a lake, a color, etc.
This is important so that you don’t jump to
conclusions before going through all the steps.
Here are questions you might consider:
What is the name of the artist who created the artwork?
What kind of artwork is it, what medium is it?
What is the name of the artwork?
When was the artwork created?
Write about the literal objects in the painting (trees, people, animals, mountains, rivers, etc.).
What do you notice first when you look at the work(s)? Why?
What kinds of colors do you see? How would you describe them?
Make sure to describe what we are looking at clearly. What time of day/night is it? How can we tell?
Step 2: Analyze
Analysis of relationships such as sizes, shapes, colors, textures, space and volumes, etc., encourages a complete examination of the artwork.
In this step consider the most significant art principles that were used in the artwork. Describe how the artist used them to organize the elements.
It also reveals the decision-making process of the artist, who wants the viewer to make certain connections within the artwork.
Suggested questions to help with analysis:
Analysis Notecards
Step 3: Interpretation (Still no research! Give us an interpretation based on what you see!)
An interpretation seeks to explain the meaning of the work based on what you have learned so far about the artwork, what do you think the artist was trying to say?
Interpretation is the meaning of the work based on the information in steps 1 and 2. Interpretation is about ideas (not a description) or sensations or feelings. Give an interpretation from your analysis of only the visual information.
Here are questions you might consider:
What do you think it means?
What feelings do you have when looking at this artwork?
Do you think there are things in the artwork that represent other things/symbols?
Why do you think that the artist chose to work in this manner and made these kinds of artistic decisions?
Why do you think the artist create this artwork?
Step 4: Judgment (RESEARCH the piece in this step.)
After careful observation, analysis, and interpretation of an artwork, you are ready to make your own judgment. This is your personal evaluation based on the understandings of the work allowing you to make an informed and critical judgment.Here are questions you might consider:
Why do you think this work has intrinsic value or worth? What is the value you find in the work(s)? (For example, is it a beautiful work of art, does it convey an important social message, affects the way that I see the world, makes insightful connections, reaffirms a religious belief, etc.)
Do you think that the work(s) has a benefit for others?
Do you find that the work communicates an idea, feeling or principle that would have value for others?
Could you assess if the use of the elements of art were successful or not? Explain.
What kind of an effect do you think the work could have for others?
