THE NATURE OF ART
APPRECIATION AND CRITICISM
. Art appreciation, although an outmoded term

associated with the picture-study movement of early
1920s.
. Word appreciation means valuing.
. Appreciation also involves the acquisition of
knowledge related to object, the artist, the materials used
and the development of a critical sense.
. The goal of all critics is the same : to provide the
readers with information regarding an artist or an exhibit
and beyond that, to help reader to increase their
understand.
POSTMODERM PERSPECTIVES FOR
CRITICISM
A Comparison of Past and Present Methods of Developing

Appreciation through Critical Skills and Art History
Past
Present
Rarely went beyond immediate

reactions to a work of art
Defers judgment until the art object

has been examined.
Instruction was primarily verbal an

teacher-centered
Instruction may be based on

verbalization, contextual and perceptual
investigation, studio activity, or
combinations of these.
Relied primarily on reproductions
Utilizes a wide range of instructional

media- slides, books, reproductions,
videos, films and most important,
original works of art, visits to museum
and galleries.
Based primarily on painting because of
its storytelling qualities.
May encompass the complete range of

visual form from fine arts ( painting
sculpture) to applied arts (industrial
design, architecture and crafts).
Used literary and sentimental

associations as basis for discussion.
Concentrated on such element as
beauty and morality to the exclusion of
formal qualities and social issues.

Adopts a broader view of art object

and comic books, as well as fine arts.
Plays down great works approach.
STUDIO INVOLVEMENT
.Studio or activities-centered method is based on the

belief that one should not divorce expression from

Understanding Art Criticism
Art criticism is studying, understanding, and judging works of art.

The Steps of Art Criticism
In each step of art criticism, you are answering a different question. The four
steps of art
criticism are:
1.Description: What do I see?
2.Analysis: How is the work organized?
3.Interpretation: What is the artist trying to communicate?
4.Judgment: Is this a successful work of art?
Description
Look at the work of art here:
What do you see?
Red room
Wall paper
Chairs, wooden, cane seat
Table, table cloth
Woman
Fruit & wine
Cut flowers in vase
Window
Landscape
Trees, bushes, flowers, building
Colors- red, blue,green, yellow, white, black
Analysis
Look again at the painting by Henri Matisse
How is the work arranged?
Break down the painting into

its composition, or the way
the art principles are used to
organize the art elements.

ELEMENTS OF ART/DESIGN
Color=red- jarring color blue,

PRINCIPLES OF ART/DESIGN
Unity= color, shape & line
Balance= woman-chair, room-
window
Contrast= red-green, black-white
pattern-solid, curve-straight
Emphasis= woman arranging fruit
Movement= diagional bottom right
to top left, curved lines of
pattern & trees
Rhythm= repeated- curved pattern
(wall paper, cloth, trees),
dots of color
(lemons/flowers)
Proportion= large with small
square
Interpretation
What do you think Matisse is trying to communicate?
Give your opinion based on the
clues you have collected.
What ideas, moods, emotions,

and stories do you think the
artwork communicates?
In Matisse's Harmony in Red (Red
Room) 1908-9, red is the predominant
color in the painting.
How does the predominant redness

make you feel?
The color red usually makes one feel warmth because it is associated with the sun
and
fire, but also because the color red has a physiological affect that excites and
stimulates.
More energy is reflected from warm colors than from the cooler ones. "Warm" colors
-
red, yellow and orange - traditionally are thought to evoke feelings of heat,
whether
psychological or real.
What affect did the final location for the painting (Shchukin dining room) have
on Matisses color and subject choice?
Judgment
Do you think this work is successful? Why or why not?
What reasons can you give
for your idea of why this is a
good or bad artwork?
Now look at the painting by Marc Chagall called Paris Through the Window and
answer each of the art criticism questions on your own:
Description: What do I see?

Analysis: How are elements and principles of art used?
Interpretation: What is the artist trying to communicate?
Judgment: Is this a successful work of art?
