Suggestions for writing an Art Review; https://www.artsy.net 1. What materials and/or tools did the artist use and how were they used? Example: “The painter used acrylic paint, putting it on the canvas so thickly with a wide brush that it seemed to build up mountains and valleys.” 2. What terms can be used to describe the artist’s works?Example: Open/closed/vertical/diagonal/horizontal composition; realistic/abstract/non-objective style; monochromatic, color, linear, painterly, flat, round, implied space, three-dimensional space, exciting, peaceful, etc. 3. What kind of “story” was the artist telling through the works? If no stories were apparent, what were the works about? 4. How did these works make you feel? What was their mood? What was your mood after reviewing them? 5. Choose one or two works and discuss, in as much detail as possible, the subject, style, and expression. Why did these particular works catch your eye? What makes them different? What is the historical period of this work? Or what period does it suggest? Why? How? Did one artistic work (or a group of them…or the entire exhibition) influence your thinking in any way? How? Citation, Art Reviews must be fully cited in Chicago style.
