• Guidelines for reviewing art

First to be an art reviewer, you must know something about art.
You should read books on art, go to museums and galleries. You can also do art yourself, taking workshops in art. You can interview artists, keeping a journal of these interviews that you can quote in your art reviews.

When reviewing a work of art, you should know something about the genre of the art. What type of art it is. Collage, expressionist, abstract.

Learn the different styles of art and the different genres. Learn the history of art.

What is it about the work of art that appeals to you, that you think also might about to others?

What is the theme of the work of art?

Describe the painting or sculpture or drawing.

What are the techniques used by the artist?

How does the painting compare to other works by the same artist, to other works in the same genre?

How do you “rate” the work of art?

What is your “expert” opinion of the work of art, not just your personal opinion, but your “expert” opinion?

Give details, support your opinions and art analysis, and make your review an interesting read.
