Critical Analysis/ Art Critic

A critical analysis is subjective writing as it gives the opinion of the writer or an evaluation of a text. However as an artist a critical analysis is giving my opinion or evaluating a piece of art for example a painting. Analysing something means breaking down and looking at something in greater detail. Many people see the word “criticism” negatively when in actual fact it means you are judging whether you like what you see and if not, explaining why you don't. An art critic basically does the same thing therefore I am an art critic when observing my work and others. In art when critically analysing you have to focus on the form of a piece of artwork for example what kind of shapes and textures you can see, the context which refers to how the artwork relates to a particular time, place, culture and society in which it was made, the content of the piece of work for example what it is and what is happening in the piece, the process of how the work was made such as the techniques used and also how the art piece makes you feel and how the work creates a certain atmosphere.
