Critique

Intro to Drawing and Painting



Take a look at the Pablo Picasso painting called, "The Old Guitarist".  I would like you to describe, analyze, interpret, and evaluate this painting.  These are the formal steps of critique.  Please type your critique and print by the end of the class period.  You will be assessed on your work but it will not count towards your final grade. You will learn all about critiquing artwork over the semester.
