Exploring the Depths of Art: A Critical Approach

In this engaging art history critique, we will cultivate the essential skill of looking closely at significant artworks. Through focused examination, we will learn to be specific when analyzing pieces, starting with foundational details such as the credit line, which includes the artist's name, title, date, medium, size, and location. By describing what we see in detail, we will uncover the meanings, emotions, and stories behind each artwork. This will culminate in personal reflections where we connect our own experiences with the pieces studied in class.
