Grow Box Critique--Page 14

The four steps of art criticism are Describe, Analyze, Interpret and Judge. For your critique of the grow box, I would like for you to answer the following questions in your sketchbook (We will be doing a classroom critique, too):

1. Describe: What is the title of your grow box, and who were your group members? Describe the elements (like the lines, colors, shapes on your box). Describe the tools used to create your painting. What is your side of the box about?

2. Analyze: How does the box compare to your sketch? How was the rule of thirds used (or not used) in your composition? Do you have a focal point(s) in your painting? What are the relationships between the different parts of your painting?

3. Interpretation: What expressive language would you use to describe your side of the box (hopeful, tragic, funny, etc.)? Does the work remind you of anything you've experienced? What does your side of the box mean?

4. Judge: What qualities of the box make it a success or disaster? How original is your side of the box? Are there any cliches evident? How did your team work together? Was the work balanced between members?

  2. No, not due on Monday. We'll finish painting on Tuesday and critique Thursday, so if you can have it done by Thursday, that's perfect.

  3. What if we are still working on the grow boxes? do we still have to have the critique by Thursday?

  4. The grow boxes were challenging to draw on, but we still got the work done.
