1. Explain the art criticism process. First, describe and tell exactly what you see. Second, use the elements and principles to reflect upon the art form. Third, interpret what the artist was trying to say, what caused the artist to say it, what is the historical milieu that surrounds the work of art, or why was the work of art created in this particular style? Finally, evaluate how successful or important the work of art is.
1. What is art? Art is a way to let all your creativity out. The definition of art is "the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power." I think art is expression. It's putting your heart and your feelings on a piece of paper. Art is literally anything. I had a teacher in 6th grade who told me that a brick wall was better than my art because I didn't follow his instructions. To me, art doesn't have a box. You could put food coloring in your nose and sneeze on a piece of paper and it would be considered art. Art is everywhere and you shouldn't have to follow anybody's instructions in your art.
My tray set is used for food, specifically milk and cookies. You can drink out of the "milk carton" with a straw because I put a hole in the lid. I came up with my idea because I remembered that once, I saw a cup that had a hole in it to put your cookies but I didn't want to copy their idea so I just made a cookie plate. I had the idea of the milk carton after I made the cookie plate. I wanted it to be completely functioning as a cup and it worked out pretty well. I started by rolling a slab of clay and placed it over a styrofoam plate. I smoothed it out with a sponge and used the back of a ribbon tool to make the holes for "chocolate chips." While that was firing, I rolled clay to cut and make the cup of the milk carton. I cut rectangles to make the sides and a square to make the bottom. I slipped and scored to put them together then started the lid. I made a square and triangles to make the lid and then slipped and scored those together. I carved the word "milk" in the lid and on the side of the cup with the back of a ribbon tool. I used a needle tool to carve the outline of a cow that I printed out. I fired that and started painting the cookie plate. I painted it brown and the chocolate chips a darker brown. When it came out of the kiln, the chocolate chips weren't dark enough and I had to add black to them and fire them again, painted more black. I painted the milk carton inside blue, and I did the outline of the cow in black underglaze but I got underglaze all over the rest of the carton and it got dark underglaze on it. My friend said that it looked cool and rustic so I decided to keep going because I knew it would be hard to get rid of it. I painted the words milk blue and glaze fired it.
