Art Criticism: Project #5

1. Which projects did you review?

I reviewed Devon Mussachio’s Wild Women Exhibition: The Beauty and Power of Mother Nature. It was a compilation of pieces that depicted the female body and its connection with nature and the earth.

2. Why did you select the Exhibit you critiqued?
I selected this exhibit because being a Women/Gender studies student, it really spoke to me in that it was about the beauty of being a woman as well as its connection with nature, another beautiful thing in this world.

3. What challenges did you face in writing the critique article and how did you overcome them?
It was hard to look at the exhibit in an objective manor especially when art is such a subjective part of life. I just tried to remind myself of the elements and principles of art and what would be appealing to the masses. At the end I couldn't help but put my own two cents in on the exhibit but I think it added a personable touch.

4. How do you feel about critiquing your peers work?
I think it's great being able to view my classmates work and see what type of art they are interested in. I like getting different perspectives on things and being able to see others creations and thoughts on the material is really rewarding.

5. Would you like to read the critique your peers wrote about your Art Curation Project?
I would love to see what people wrote about my exhibit. I have always been accepting to criticism being an athlete but I would like to see how it differs when people have something to say about my creativity and artistic skills!

6. On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your finished article and why?
I would rate my article at a 7 I think because it may have been too subjective and comprising of my personal opinion rather than focusing at the techniques, element and principles. But at the same time I thought I was able to grasp the exhibit and represent it well to an audience.

7. Did you enjoy working on this project?
I did like working on this project because it allowed me to view my classmates work as well and give my opinion on it.
