Competency Develop a vocabulary for criticizing, evaluating, and describing works of art.

For this assessment task, you are asked to act as an art critic and analyze a series of works. When art critics discuss art, they describe art works in terms of style and medium. Art critics interpret meanings of art and make judgements of a work's validity to the importance of a piece in the larger context of art history and culture. Art critics also evaluate art in the context of aesthetics.

Instructor’s feedback

Of the six art works presented in the assignment, you considered only one that is part of the assignment: Judith Beheading Holofernes by Caravaggio. You wrote on a drawing of a sheep by Henry Moore, and Vermeer's famous "Girl with One Pearl Earing"; neither of those two paintings are included in the assignment. 

Please write on the remaining five art works that make up this assignment. 

I'm curious: why did you select the works by Moore and Vermeer? And why did you ignore the remainder
