Art Criticism Rules Criticism is meant to compliment the artist on a

job well done and encourage the artist to consider other options. You should NEVER give comments that are negative in nature!

Discussion should include the whole class, don’t let one person carry the conversation for everyone.

Use the comments/suggestions from the class critique to revise and finalize your designs. Remember as a designer, your designs should appeal to your audience! You shouldn’t be the only one who LOVES your design.

Verbal Critique of APP Logo Designs Use a magnet to place your BEST final

design on the white board. DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR NAME ON THE

FRONT OF YOUR DESIGN! Use the Art Criticism Questions to help

lead the class critique discussion
