This guide outlines the essential steps for critiquing art effectively: Description, Analysis, Interpretation, and Judgment. It begins by making a visual inventory of what you see, then analyzes the composition of the work. Next, you interpret the artist's intentions based on your observations and evaluate the work's success or failure with supportive reasoning. Examples include Duchamp's "Fountain," Picasso's "Guernica," and contemporary propaganda art. Understand the role of found art and graffiti in political expression to enhance your critique skills.
