FREE | For Local Artists
We are returning home to MMFA’s Hobbs Library for our spring ArtTalk! Visual artists of all experience levels and disciplines are invited to bring one piece of artwork in any stage of development for an informal community critique. For this session, we encourage self-taught or “outsider” artists to share their visual art, participate in the critique, and interact with community interpretations of their work. Refreshments will be provided.
For more information, email Tiiwon Siaway at tsiaway@mmfa.org.
How to Critique Visual Art
1) Describe what you see.
2) Analyze how well the art piece uses the elements of art and principles of design.
3) Interpret the meaning of the artwork. What does it make you feel?
4) Decide if the art piece successful/unsuccessful to you. Why or why not?
