In this video I explain how to critique your own artwork. An aspiring artist who is serious about improving their efforts will ask themselves, “How can I improve my artistic technique?/” even before being criticized by others. For your art to reach a level that can be taken seriously by artists and teachers who know how to critique works of art, it is essential to develop the ability to self-analyze your art. Learning to steal ideas like an artist will also help you improve your artistic technique, know where you stand in the global conversation, and how your art innovates on previous ones.

Here are the details of what I cover in the video:

1. Literally describe what you see.
2. Technical organization – elements and principles of art and design
3. Interpret: Does the piece represent or mean something?
4. Judge – what do you think?
5. Absorption Technique – what to pack. what do you take away from the analysis? What techniques or styles would you like to add to your own work? I'm reviewing a painting by Robert Rauschenberg that I love and how I've broken down his work to add elements and techniques to my own style.
