1. What is art
display?
• Away where the artwork and
audience/viewer meet.
• Empowers the artist to promote arts at
its finest
• Given that you are finished
already with your art, how will
you display or promote it?
Art display promotes the artist’s work,
which is usually introduced in a major
setting/venue. The setting may be a
gallery, museum, art hall or in art
exhibition in a mall.
2. What is art
criticism?
• An approach in studying a work of art
• Helps understand the value of an
artwork
• It also inspires and makes changeable
interpretations
• It gives an understanding of the artist’s
views in the world and culture
3. In what way is art
criticism similar to the
process of creating art?
• Much like in creating art, there is a
critical and exploratory process
involved in writing art criticism.
Art criticism is an engagement
that lets the viewer question the
work and the motives behind it,
examine its details, and find and
create meaning. The criticism is a
product of a process that is similar
to the creative process in the
production of art.
4. How can art criticism
enable one to exercise
critical thinking?
• The practice of art criticism enables one to
question what he or she sees and not just
accept ideas and views superficially and
blindly. It allows one to go beyond seeing art
as just something pretty.
• It opens up discourse, not just with and about
art, but also about the larger context in which
art is in.
• It puts one in questioning and examining
frame of mind that makes one more critical
and allows him or her to understand things
deeper.
5. What benefits are
brought about when one
critiques an artwork?
• Art criticism lets one understand a
work fully. This means coming up with
not just one understanding of an
artwork, but with multiple
interpretations and judgments, which
allows for a better appreciation of the
artwork.
• It augments the experience with the
work, as it allows one to understand
the work more deeply and see new
things which he/she may not have
seen at first glance.
• It brings one into the world of
the artist and lets him/her see
the psychological , social, and
cultural movements that
affected the artist and his or
her creation of the work.
Learning more about these can
help one understand what the
work means today.
• Art criticism allows one to flesh
out how the work and its
interpretations reflect the
culture that created the work. It
allows one to put value in the
work as well.
The philosophical position is a perspective that is
available for everyone to use. It adds color and spices to
your criticism. It allows your work to create new
meaning that is being viewed from a different
perspective.
• Formalist criticism- is based upon an aesthetic
assessment of artworks that gives priority to such
formal elements such as lines, shape and color at the
expense of representational element involved with
narrative, subject matter, and symbols.

• Ideological- originates from the writings of Karl Marx


and deals with the political implications of art.

• Psychoanalytic- believes that art should be studied as


the product of individuals who are shaped by their
pasts, their unconscious urges, and their social
histories.
• Structuralism- maintains that in order to
understand a work of art, one must study the
structure of art and the complex interrelationship
of all its parts that produce the whole.

• Post-Structuralism- is a range of reactions against


structuralism, but it is not homogenous set of
ideas.

• Feminist-is concerned wit the oppression of groups


(especially women) in a given society, along with
the oppression of their belief system.
• Post-colonial- assumes a unique
perspective on the art of politics of
colonialism, which is concerned with art
produced by colonial powers and works
produced by those who were/are
colonized.

• Phenomenological – holds that you , the


perceiving subject , engage with an
artwork.
6. Explain one philosophical
position in art criticism .How is
this position relevant in
understanding contemporary
art in the Philippines?
7. What are the four
steps in art criticism?
How each step is
implemented?
1) Description- looks at the work surface level and
describes the elements that the viewer may find in
the artwork itself. This also includes information
available on the credit line of the work.

2) Analysis-deals with how the visual elements were


organized and used to achieve the works goal. This
ideals of elements such as the use of a certain subject
matter, application of certain designs ,principles, and
media and manipulating techniques, among others.
3) Interpretation- deals with the messages conveyed by
the artist and his or her work, and puts the work into
context. This is also where the viewer brings in what
interpretations and may be gleaned from the work, and
how these interpretations may be seen in the work.

4) Judgment- deals with the personal thoughts of the


viewer regarding the work, how the work successful in
achieving its goal, its social and artistic relevance, the best
criteria to use when judging the work, and what pieces of
evidence in and around the work satisfy the set of criteria.
