Project #5 Art Criticism Reflection

1.Which projects did you review?

For this project I reviewed, Looking for Love by: Jenna Lettieri, The Harlem Renaissance: The Birth of African Culture in America by: Siggers, and 1920’S FASHION FROM THE MOVIE The Great Gatsby by: Todaro.

2. Why did you select the Exhibit you critiqued?

            I chose to critique Looking for Love by: Jenna Lettieri for a couple of reasons. First, her exhibition caught my attention right away just from the coloring of her slides and the title. Second, Jenna did a great job providing her audience with enough information about each piece of artwork to understand what the art is about. Lastly, the idea of romance really grasped my attention mainly because I am a female and love is constantly on my mind. 

3. What challenges did you face in writing the critique article and how did you overcome them?


            I did not find any challenges when writing my critique article for Jenna’s exhibition. She did a great job putting her exhibition together giving me plenty of information about each piece of art, which made the assignment very easy for me to give her a good critique.

4. How do you feel about critiquing your peers work?

            I liked the idea of critiquing my peers work because it gave me an opportunity to see what other classmates chose for this assignment. I was really interested in Jenna’s exhibition and I wish I would of thought about that topic to base my exhibition on. It is interesting to see students’ personalities through their finished slideshows, and I could see interests that my students have as well.

5. Would you like to read the critique your peers wrote about your Art Curation Project?


            I would like to read the critiques that my peers wrote about my project because I think I used a lot of personal explanations about pieces in my exhibition and I wonder if my classmates made those same connections. If they didn’t make the same connections, I would love to see what they thought about different pieces in my exhibition and how our two interpretations differ.

6. On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your finished article and why?

            I would give my finished article an 8. I think I did a great job complementing Jenna on a lot of different aspects to her exhibition, but it was difficult for me to give her any constructive criticism. I believe that her exhibition was great and everything that she chose for it worked well together.


7. Did you enjoy working on this project?

            I did enjoy working on this project because it allowed me to use my own creativity while still working with other artist masterpieces. It also allowed me to connect a little bit with my classmates by looking at their finished exhibitions and seeing different personalities in each slideshow. I am glad we did this assignment.
