In the
article “Describing Art”, Barrett
talks about the process of an in-depth analysis into describing the
arrangements, visual construction, and composition. He pointed out some of the
aspects that can influence a positive critique and a negative critique without
swaying the viewer to lean towards a biased conclusion. Barrett not only touch
on the critiquing methods for just one medium, Barrett provided examples into
other mediums of art from sculptural, to performance art. The author even went
in-depth into deciphering Dale Chihuly’s medium of glass blowing and pointing
out the avenues into the critics’ conclusions of classifying it as art, or craft.
Barrett informs the reader of the importance in using descriptive analogies to separate
the visual content, and the conceptual ideas to create associations; whether the
artist creates them intentionally or if those associations are unintentional.
