Please see the assignment instructions page for important details on how to receive full credit!
Based upon this week’s reading found in the Overview, please respond to the following prompts/questions:
- Carefully describe what it means to be a responsible art critic. Specifically, what is the role of participation in art criticism? Also, briefly describe a situation (imagined or real) where someone is engaging in irresponsible art criticism. (75 words)
- In your own words, explain the three kinds of criticism. (75 words)
- From this week’s reading, choose ONE of the works depicted in either Figure 3-3, Figure 3-6, or Figure 3-7. Then, in 300-350 words total, offer the following as best as you can:
- A descriptive criticism of the work
- An interpretive criticism of the work (you’ll need to Google the work you chose to learn a bit more about it, and you can borrow an art critic’s ideas as long as you put them in your own words)
- An evaluative criticism of the work
Assignment Instructions
For your weekly reading question assignments, here are the general rules for full credit:
Answers should be thoughtful, well-developed, and in complete sentences. Grammar and spelling counts too, so please pay attention to these elements!
Each answer should be at least three sentences long, minimum. In terms of word count, I’m looking for 50-60 words per answer unless otherwise indicated.
Label each question set, and number the questions accordingly.
Do not include the questions themselves…just the answers.
Your Turnitin match number cannot exceed 20%. If you submit and get a report that exceeds 20%, you can look at the details of the report, edit your work, and resubmit BEFORE the deadline. Any submitted work that exceeds 20% after the deadline must receive a zero. See the Turnitin video below for more details.
If you submit your weekly assignments by 11:59pm on Fridays, I can guarantee you some feedback before the Sunday deadlines and an opportunity to resubmit if necessary. However, if you submit over the weekend, I can’t make the same guarantee and you might be stuck with whatever score you get come Monday morning!
