Directions: Evaluate your BEST HAND TINITED using the following guidelines. This MUST

be typed and at least one page, a paragraph for each step! Make sure your name, period and

date are on your typed piece.

1. Description: Describe the subject matter of your piece. Be specific; describe every detail

of your project. What do you see, hear, feel (touch), smell and/or taste. Give only the

facts (the artwork’s title, the artist’s name, etc…)

2. Analysis: Discuss how and why your piece is “art”. Write about how you used the

appropriate elements (line, shape, form, space, color, value & texture) & principles

(proportions, balance, emphasis, pattern, unity, & variety).

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.

4a. 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. Personal Assessment = ____/ 100: What would you score yourself for this assignment?

Why?

5. Tools: Explain the tools that you used in Photoshop an briefly describe what they do,

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

When finished, save it in your personal folder, and then turn it into the In-Box under your

period’s folder, in the #3 folder under Hand Tint Critique.
