Art Criticism Essay

Art Criticism Essay

Please choose one work of art from our textbook and write a critical review of it. You may write about it in any way that you like as long as you identify the artist, title, and medium which is solely for the purpose of me knowing what artwork you are referring to.

BUT:

There are certain things I want you to write about in your essay:

Describe how its materials, composition and placement work or do not work. Speak about it in a contextual sense. A way to go about this is to identify what the artist is trying to communicate and why. What is the artist responding to? Is he/she successful in communicating that response?

If you would like an example of good criticism that is written well, you can google articles by these well-known critics:

Peter Schjeldahl

Jerry Saltz

Article: How to Build a Successful Team – New York Times | Business

Summary

This article gathered insights from over 500 business leaders and distilled it into 5 areas:

Learning

Although nothing in this article hasn’t been said before about team building, it does highlight that the fundamentals have been tried and tested by many and still hold up. The one central idea this article does revolve around is condor and the importance of communicating your ideas and intent clearly to others. In my experience, when a manager or leader is able to communicate open and honestly, I have a much easier time trusting them.

Application of Ideas

One of the more difficult things I’ve had to do as a manager is giving annual performance reviews. Giving on the spot feedback has always been easier for me, but something about trying to cover a whole year in one conversation is difficult to me. In the article, it encourages managers to give feedback more often. So often, that people get used to it. This makes it easier when you sit down for an annual performance review, because they already know what to expect and there shouldn’t be any surprises.

Lecture 10 The Media’s View of the Audience & Audiences as Citizens and Consumers

This lecture will examine the audience from the point of view of the media industries. It will examine why the media wish to carry out audience research and how this differs from the audience research carried out by academics. In particular it will explore the economic imperatives behind media audience research. The lecture will ask questions about audience power and examine this in the light of the audience as ‘produser’.
