Number 48 Art Critique

by: Hailey Lam, Julia Duze, & Stephanie Bondietti


During our conversation at the museum, we mainly analyzed what was there in the art piece. Rather than debating the presumed history, we opted to observe only the superficial aspects of the painting. We didn't discuss the significance of each shape or composition of the work, or the juxtaposition of the shapes, but had we the time we would have.

The Outlier and A Ride for Liberty

by: Ruby Dong and Sophie Huang


We looked at the background, the colors and the details. We also analyzed the historical background and the emotions that the figures portrayed in the painting.

Showgirl by John Carroll

by: Yeniliz Peguero, Michael Pinto, Ashley Dirzis


In this analysis we discussed a lot of the historical context of the painting as well as some of the artist's intentions. We compared this modern painting to a lot of the other older paintings we had seen at the museum. We could have described the painting more and we could have discussed some of the formal properties of the painting such as tone, material and medium.

A Cold Winter Night

by: Erik Niu, Monica Chan


We described the painting. We tried to interpret what the artist is trying to say. In addition, we talked about which objects in the painting represent which things the artist was talking about. We didn't discuss the content of the painting as much.

by: Rebecca Del Vecchio, Jackline Fahmy, Alexandra Diodato


We did not know the historical context of the painting besides the fact that a war was going on.

WEB OF LIFE BY JOHN BIGGERS

by: KIRIAKI GIANNOULAS & ELINA NIYAZOV


We analyzed the relationships between the connections of the objects in the painting and connected it to the natural life cycle. We focused on the context of the painting, specifically on the support of each organism. We didn't analyze the size or the materials that were used. If we had more time, we would've considered the scale, colors, time of creation and materials of the painting.

The Confidence Man

by: Paula Laziuk, Allison Reich, Jessica Penn, Daniella Seelenfreund, Natalie Mizhari


Our group mostly employed the composition element of formal analysis. We did not use historical analysis or subject analysis. We would have explored the historical aspect of the painting if we had time.

Clouds over the Black Sea

by: Nabila C., Adina L., Nazija A., Jimmie S.


We didn't really analyze the formal properties or analysis very much, but we did mention the depth perception! We also could have been more in depth about historical context; however, we did mention context in the artist's life which helped us interpret the artist's intentions.
