Directions: Evaluate your Freak of the Week, Paterson piece using the following guidelines.

Write one paragraph for each number. Make sure your name, period, and date are on your typed

piece. Each step must be paragraph in length!

1. Description: Describe the subject matter of each piece, what do you see? Be specific;

describe every detail of the photograph. What do you see, hear, feel, smell, and/or taste.

Give only the facts!

2. Analysis: Discuss how and why your pieces are “Art.” Write about how you used the

appropriate elements (Line, Shape, Form, Color, Value, Texture & Space) and principles

(Balance, Movement, Rhythm, Contrast, Emphasis, Pattern, & Unity).

3. Interpretation: This is the purpose or meaning of the piece. Answer, “What is

happening?” & “What is the artist (you) trying to say?” You will interpret (explain or tell

the meaning of) the work. Be creative but stick to your observations & specific evidence

that is inside or outside the photograph.

4. Judgment: You judge whether or not the work succeeds or fails. This is your time to

give your opinions. You must make up your own mind & need to know why you feel the

way you do. Consider your use of art and composition, do you feel like your work is a

success? Why or why not?

b. What would you score yourself for this assignment? Why? Personal Assessment =

____/100

c. How will you improve on your next Freak of the Week?

d. Tools: Explain the tools you used in Photoshop and briefly describe what they do, how

you might use them in the future, and what you learned by using them.

When finished, save & name (Martinsen_K_14.docx) to YOUR FOLDER. Then copy & paste

the file from your folder into the IN-BOX under your period & the #14 folder.
