Please notice the extended deadline for your exhibition review: Friday, April 7, 5:00pm. Reviews that are submitted past the deadline will receive a 10% penalty (one full letter grade). Don't put yourself in this situation. Please respect your work by proofreading it carefully before uploading it. Maybe take it to the Writers Studio for a quick check-up.
Your review will likely be between six and ten developed paragraphs. Feel free to incorporate your own photographs of the overall installation, particular pieces, and details from particular pieces. Use captions to identify the artist's name, the title of the piece, and the date it was made. You can include materials and dimensions, but they aren't necessary.
Some people think that an art review has four distinct components: Description, Analysis, Interpretation, and Evaluation. That's not exactly wrong, but maybe it's too complicated. Let's break it down into two components instead of four: Description and Evaluation. I think the analysis and interpretation take place within the description and evaluation. In other words, they don't feel like separate approaches.
Here is a link to a great 2-page guide to writing an academic art review. I'm giving you a photocopy of this document, but you also might like a digital copy of it. Read it. Think about it. Execute its strategies.
Here is a six-paragraph art exhibition review written by an undergraduate for an assignment. This reviewer was in a very similar situation as you are currently in. Let's take a look: click here.
