Reflection Journal for Art Criticism


Answer the Following Questions:
1. Which projects did you review?
I reviewed Life in Color and Nature Affected

2. Why did you select the Exhibit you critiqued?
I selected Life in Color because I seemed to connect more with Lydia’s exhibit and I believed her presentation was a bit more thought out than Nature Affected.

3. What challenges did you face in writing the critique article and how did you overcome them?
The main challenge I experienced was to make this project two pages long.  Initially I had a little over a page when I had looked at your suggestions about what to write about and then applied them to this exhibit.  Just like most problems or difficulties you face in life, the more you think about a given problem, the more likely it is that you will arrive at a solution to it.  So, with some time and some abstract thinking I was able to stretch my review to the full two pages.

4. How do you feel about critiquing your peers work?
Well I don’t really mind critiquing others work, and in fact I saw things that Lydia did with her presentation of the art gallery that made me wish I could go back in time and sort of spice up my own project to seem more artistic(considering I used only a white background for each of my individual slides)

5. Would you like to read the critique your peers wrote about your Art Curation Project?
No, I would personally not want to read someone’s critique of my exhibit because after looking at the two exhibits I feel as though mine was missing some presentation value, as I have said, and I am a little annoyed at myself for leaving that out of the project.

6. On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your finished article and why?
I would rate my finished article an 8.  I used spell-check so that shouldn’t be an issue, and I believe that a few of my observations would not have been made by other individuals critiquing the art exhibit.

7. Did you enjoy working on this project?
Yes, I enjoyed this project, and surprisingly enjoyed the critique part of the assignment.
