Reading an artwork in four steps

Describe, analyse, interpret, judge. With those four steps you look for longer, say more than nice or ugly, and back up your opinion.

First stage of secondary school12 to 16 yearsDraft: Not yet checked by an art teacher.

Why

What do you say about a painting if you want to say more than that you think it is nice or ugly?

In a museum, many people walk past a work in a few seconds. If you look for longer, you see more.

Four fixed steps help you look first and only judge afterwards. That makes your opinion stronger, even if you don't like a work.
