Art Critism

1. Which projects did you review?

I reviewed Jason Petty's "Art Curator Exhibition Slideshow", and Chantell Watson's "Project #4".

2. Why did you select the Exhibit you critiqued?

I selected Jason Petty's "Art Curator Exhibition Slideshow" because I like the nature theme that it presented. It had some very good examples throughout the slideshow and I felt it presented me with a good choice to critique.

3. What challenges did you face in writing the critique article and how did you overcome them?

My biggest challenges were trying to write a critique without being biased. I found myself liking some pieces and disliking others, but it was a struggle to keep an open mind because I don't naturally think like that. I did my best and I may of slipped up once or twice, but I felt I stayed focused on the task.

4. How do you feel about critiquing your peers work?

I felt that I did the best that I could, but I could not do many more because I feel like everyone has their own style. I like a lot of art, so it would be hard to look at another couple exhibits and not be biased in some way. I think it was good exercise though and definitely something I can work on in the future.

5. Would you like to read the critique your peers wrote about your Art Curation Project?

Actually yes I would. I feel that I presented a lot of good examples of Native American art in different medias, from paintings to photos to sculptures and masks. I'm interesting to see how my peers felt about my exhibit. My analysis may not have been spot on, but I feel that my exhibit was enjoyable nonetheless.

6. On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your finished article and why?

I'd say a 7 to be honest. I tried to put myself in the place of an actually editor at an art magazine or website that visits exhibits and puts out a review on them. I'm not the best at writing about art, but I typed what came to my mind and I fell that it was good enough to make me sound like I was a real editor or columnist.

7. Did you enjoy working on this project?

I enjoyed more working on the actually art curator project than the critique. It's more of what I enjoy.
