Art Critique

AP Art students began the year with a charcoal still-life to help see, understand, and hone in on their skills of observation while putting into practice the aspects of drawing. Their goal is to crop in on the still-life to create a composition that directs the viewers eye around the drawing while leading them to a point of emphasis that the artist thinks is important. After every final is completed the students participate in a thorough critique. The critique allows for students to respond, interpret, and make critical judgments on their work as well as the work of their peers. This is an important part of the art making process, because it allows the students to see how their work is perceived by others as well as getting input from their peers on the issues that they may not have noticed other own.
