Title of Your Art Critique (Give it an interesting title!)
Museum: Name of art museum visited
Start with the name and location of the museum, what kind of collection(s) it has, when it was founded, what kind of building it’s housed in, and any other pertinent information. Do not use AI-generated content or cut and paste! Put this information into your own words. The museum description should be between 50-100 words.
Piece 1: Title of Artwork
First, give the title of the artwork, the date it was created, the medium (what it’s made out of), and the size.
Second, describe the work in detail. Describe the composition, image, colors, figures, shapes, and any other information about the piece. Go into great detail! Then, give an interpretation of what the work might mean or signify based on its title, composition, and time and place of creation. (100+ words)
Third, explain why the work stood out to you. This is your personal response to the work, should give a clear explanation of the work’s appeal, and should be at least 50 words.
Include an image of the work that you took during your visit.
Insert your selfie or picture with the work here.

Connection: Relate at least two of the pieces you discussed above to one specific topic from the class.
This paragraph is really where the “rubber meets the road” in this assignment. Don’t just make a connection, really develop a connection in 100-150 words using details from the lesson. For example, if you looked at Egyptian imagery or relics, you could very directly (and in detail!) relate the works to the lesson on The Book of the Dead. Or, for example, two of the works you looked at could directly or indirectly relate to the Golden Rule, but you would need to be incredibly specific as to how. Refreshing yourself on the lessons we’ve covered before you visit a museum would be helpful.
