Understanding Ch 2 "Theory and Art Criticism" Barrett

To help you with your note taking,&, if you want, you may print this page for a resource.



Ch. 2 “Theory and Art Criticism”; from Criticizing Art by Terry Barrett.
Notes for Discussion:   Put in your process journal – as you’re taking notes

Art movements and thoughts about the world are supple things, changing form and responding to the changing tones in the social symphony.  With every theory, there are things we understand, things we don’t’.  Parts we like, parts that we don’t.  This is less of an “I’m looking for the right answer”, but looking for what you understand.  This might be fun for you to look back on years from now as well, so it’s a repetitive dry sort of format, more for your notes, but it will help you shape how you see art and especially your own:
For each theory, I’m looking for:
•   How you understand it    
•  What you like about the theory  
 •  What you don’t like / understand about the theory.
