Critique Paper
A Reaction/Review or a Critique Paper is
a response, or reaction, to some sort of
prompt. The prompt may be a question, a
current, event, or a form of media,
including movies or video clips. It is an
important rhetorical pattern in academic
writing as it presents a balanced view of
things.
Critiques can be used to carefully analyze a variety
of works such as:

Creative works-
• novels, exhibits, • Research-monographs,
film, images, poetry journal articles, systematic
reviews, theories

• Media-news reports,
feature articles
Writing a critique on a work helps us to
develop:
• A knowledge of the work’s subject area or
related works.
• An understanding of the work’s purpose,
intended audience, development of
argument, structure of evidence or creative
style.
• A recognition of the strengths and
weaknesses of the work.
The Critique should be organized in the
following manner:
• The first part should provide a sense of the
ideas you want to tackle.

• The next part should provide a summary of


the topic.

• Strengths and weaknesses should be part of


the critique.
CRITICAL
APPROACHES
01
FEMINISM
-It focuses on how culture
determines gender. This
approach centers on how
gender equality is
presented in the text.
02
MARXIST
CRITICISM
-It highlights the social
class as represented in the
work.
03
FORMALISM
-It focuses on style, form
and content without
relating to external
context.
04
READER RESPONSE
CRITICISM
-It is concerned with
viewers reaction as the
audience of the work.
What is balanced/objective review or
criticism?

It is a system of interpreting, judging, and


assessing a person, thing, or any work of
art not influenced by feelings or opinions
in considering and presenting facts.
To have balanced/objective
review of any piece of work,
the following are
considered:
Description
It pertains to the pure description of
the object, piece of work, art, event,
etc. It answers the questions:
a. What do you see? (artwork). Its
description constitutes form of art, medium,
size and scale, elements or general shapes,
color, texture of surface, and context of
object).

b. What do you see? (piece of writing). It


constitutes form, structure, choice of words,
length, genre, etc)
Analysis
It determines what the features
suggest and deciding why the
artist or writers used such
features to convey specific
ideas. It answers the questions:
a. How did the artist do it? (artwork)

b. How did the writer write it? (piece


of writing)
Interpretation
It establishes the broader
context for this type of art. It
answers the questions:
a. Why did the artist create it and
what does it mean? (artwork)

b. Why did the write create it and


what does it mean? (piece of writing)
Judgment
It judges a piece of work means
giving it rank in relation to other
works and of course considering
a very important aspect of the
visual arts, its originality. It
answers the questions “Is it a
good artwork?” Is it a good
composition?
