Project 5 Art criticism

I viewed Cityscape: Around The World, done by Megan Aiello, Art in the Life of Trees, done by Katie Gruppo, and Wildlife Encounters, done by Willie Wimes. I choose to critique the exhibit, Art in the Life of Trees.  I chose this exhibit because I really enjoyed all of the different tree paintings and the interpretations and explanations behind them.  I have always been attracted to drawing trees.  the biggest challenge when writing my article was thinking about the right comparisons when I was bracketing.  I used ones that related the most to me and things that I already knew but the comparisons I just had an okay grasp on, I had to really think about when discussing them.  Critiquing my peers work can be a bit stressful because you know someone is critiquing you and you want them to say good things about your work, but I also feel that we are all going through the same things and doing the critiques helps one another.  I don't know if I would like to know what someone else wrote about my project but i do know that in the end if I do see it it might help me to improve if I were to do this project again or to know certain information for the future.  I would rate my finished article an 8 because I feel it was well written but I am skeptical about if I did it the right way.  I also never give myself a really high score.  I enjoyed looking at all of the other exhibits and seeing what everyone else came up with.  I also liked doing the critique and interpreting the meanings of the works.
