Editorial Reviews: Product Description Appropriate for use in critique at any level-from the beginner to the advanced student. Its uniqueness and universal application in visual arts curriculum make The Critique Handbook an excellent introduction for beginners and a valuable resource for more experienced students. This text was written to address an existing gap in the literature pertaining to the study of art. Although the critique is central to all art programs, there have been no textbooks or comprehensive guides that deal with this important instructional tool. The Critique Handbook fills the need for such a book. Quotes: "The Critique Handbook is a well organized and useful text. Most immediately useful -- and inventive -- are the exercises toward the back of the book." Stu Thompson, Ph.D. Professor of Art Seton Hill University

Customer Reviews: Read 1 more reviews... Clear, concise & informative. January 6, 2009 When we are asked to explain why a work of art is great, or even why it is not, this book enables you to work through specific criteria that helps you to critique any work of art; be it a painting, a sculpture or video installation. I would recommend this book to any art student. Harold Linton, Chair / Department of Art & Visual Technology / GMU May 1, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful Way Cool! Proud to boast about this great project! Kendall Buster and Paula Crawford have tackled a very difficult and taboo subject with wit and wisdon, keen insight and thoughtfulness that transforms the culture of studio art education into a clear discussion of the artistry of creative presentation and all of the thinking, doing, and planning that support it. The authors unravel a mystery for art students to ingest that can only have positive impact on their the work. Artists who are eager for depth, breadth, and better ability to plan and present their ideas to others - this is a must read! The content is completely applicable to all art discipline areas. From painting to sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, design, photography - it cuts across all areas of the visual arts and binds the conceptual with the end product in an engaging discussion of the ways and means of creative evidence, philosophy, and discussion. An excellent required and affordable text for studio classes across the board! Harold Linton, Chair Art & Visual Technology, George Mason University. Critique of The Critique Handbook November 3, 2006 4 out of 4 found this review helpful I am an adjunct photography professor at a private college. This book was used as a text for a joint workshop on The Critique for the art department of our school and another local college. Given the complexity of the subject matter, this book does a good job of covering the basics of an art school critique. I particularly appreciated the discussion regarding the role of faculty and the personal baggage we sometimes forget we can bring to the party. It's impossible to cover all the possible permutations of The Critique, but this book does a fine job of highlighting the peculiarities of several art disciplines and the details that should be addressed. It gives you a springboard to make the conversion even if your discipline isn't specifically covered. If you teach art or hold critiques in your class, I believe you will find this book very helpful. My only quibble is the type size for my aging eyes. Don't be fooled by the physical size of this book. It may be compact but it makes up for it with density. The Critique Handbook September 17, 2006 4 out of 4 found this review helpful This is a well-written, insightful and important manual that every professor, teacher, curator, gallery owner, student and professional artist should have on their bookshelf. It IS extremely expensive, but worth every single dime. There is a million bucks worth of info between its covers! Run and place your order...I'm glad I did! The Critique Handbook June 30, 2006 4 out of 4 found this review helpful This book is very specific about how to conduct a critique and how to survive one without becoming emotionally involved. Although it only discusses the traditional fine arts,i.e. painting and sculpture, the techniques involved can be easily adapted to othere less trasditional forms of art, i.e. fiber art or photography. A very good book.
