GROUND RULES FOR AESTHETIC DIALOGUE: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. I am critical of ideas, not people. I remember we are all in this together. I encourage everyone to participate. I listen to everyones ideas, even if I do not agree. I ask someone to restate what was said if I do not understand. I try to understand all sides of an issue.
3. INTERPRETATION In this stage of art critical inquiry, decide what your observations mean. Dont be afraid to risk being wrong. You can change and adjust your interpretations until it fits the visual facts. express associate interpret explain deduce understand infer feel empathize
4. SYNTHESIZE (JUDGEMENT AND PERSONAL MEANING) The reasons for judging a work of art good or poor have to be based on a philosophy of art, not on ones personal authority. There are several philosophies of art for justifying critical judgments. You can depend on one or develop you own philosophy of art as a basis for judging the merit of a work of art. At this point you can discuss any personal meaning you get from the work.

PHILOSOPHIES OF ART (Extracted from the writings of Mitler, Ragans, and Chapman) REALISM
Literal qualities: The most important thing about a work of art is the realistic presentation of subject matter. A work is successful if it looks like and reminds us of what we see in the real world.
EXPRESSIONISM
Expressive qualities: The most important thing about a work of art is the vivid communication of moods, feelings, and ideas to the viewer. The work is successful if the art speaks to the viewer through her/his emotions.
FORMALISM
Visual qualities: The most important thing about a work of art is the effective organization of the elements of art (line, shape, form, texture, color, space) through the use of the principles of design (balance, repetition/movement, unity, emphasis, proportion, contrast). The work is successful if the elements of art are well organized.
FUNCTIONALISM
Functional qualities: The most important thing about a work of art is its usefulness to our lives and its power to communicate to many people. When judging functional objects, attention must be given to both usefulness and beauty. The work is successful if it functions as intended and provides a fresh, new insight to the design.
