Literal qualities: Size of the work, medium, process, subject matter, objects, all details. |
|
Step 2 of art criticism:

Step 3 of art criticism:
Interpret |
Critic focuses on the work’s content. The Expressive qualities.
|
|
Step 4 of art criticism:
Judge |
Critic tells whether the work is successful or not based on an aesthetic view.
