Describe the chapter on Approaches to Art Criticism by Suzanne Hudson and Nancy Noonen-Morrissey .

The chapter on How to Substantiate your Ideas discusses using historical and descriptive evidence to build a successful argument in your writing. The chapter on Approaches to Art Criticism by Suzanne Hudson and Nancy Noonen-Morrissey introduces different ways you can approach writing your art analysis. According to Hudson and Noonan-Morrissey, these are the major approaches to art criticism (see pp. 11-17 for more information):Formalist- Focuses on the rather objective “reading” of the intrinsic qualities of a work of art, such as the elements and principlesContextual- Stresses the factors or extrinsic forces of a work of art and the relationship of art in the rest of the worldPsychoanalytical- Explores the underlying causes of a work of art’s meaning not visible on the surfaceIdeological- interpretations of the work of art from a distinct viewpointFeminist- focuses on feminist qualities and importanceMulticultural- focuses on issues of ethnicity, racial issues, segregation, pluralismMarxist- focuses on social and economic issues Next, choose a work of art on which to write your paper. You may choose to write about a work you’ve already encountered in the exhibition review, or you may choose an entirely different work. It can be found in an online museum and gallery setting, a work from your textbook, or an artowrk you have in your possession. If you have public sculpture in your community, you may also choose to write about that. Then, plan your art criticism paper. Determine what the paper will be about and what it will emphasize. Formulate a question to find out (either through research or analysis). This helps to guide your research and/or the thesis of your paper and also helps to make your paper more interesting. Research the topic and take notes, and formulate your thesis (which is the answer to your question). See the Hudson and Noonan-Morrissey chapter for examples on writing your thesis. Write your paper. Outline your paper and organize your notes so they help construct your argument. Make major points, and include counter points or counter arguments. Include the name of the artist, the title of the artwork (titles should be in Italics), where you saw the work, an introduction, main points, and conclusion. Research may be a significant part of your paper, especially if you choose to write in a contextual, psychoanalytical, or ideological approach.
