Is a systematic discussion of an artwork usually involving four stages. Description, analysis, interpretation, evaluation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The above sort of tries to give art criticism some sort of social and professional standing. It should be noted that the Critic's profession, be that journalistic or academic, is parasitic on the industry and creativity of artists and as such what they say is irrelevant and trivial. Art is made by an artist for public consumption and it is only art historians and history that can show the retrospective, real impact of a artist's work.
Do your work on your own. Research. Read what you're supposed to.
