The Feldman Method
The Four Steps To Completing Your Art Writing Efficiently!
1. Describe the artwork.
Use pure VISUAL facts. What do you see? What is in the picture/painting/artwork?
Start by describing everything that you see.
(Pretend you are describing it to someone who can't see it. Be thorough!)
2. Analyze the artwork.
Explain what elements and principles of art are used in the artwork and describe where they can be seen.
How did the artist do that?
3. Interpretation- Interpret the artwork.
What evidence supports my understanding of this artwork?
What do I think is happening in this painting?
What does it mean? What could it mean?
Think about a theme, and look for symbols
4. Judgement- Judge the artwork.
This is time for your opinions to shine through. Is it a good artwork? Why or why not?
Is the artwork successful? Why or why not?
