Art Criticism and Analysis flashcards

These decks offer short prompts on the language and ideas used to discuss art. Art Term 3 includes words such as heritage, installation and motif. The Frames covers subjective, cultural, structural and postmodern frames, alongside their key terms.

For a starting point, use Art Term 3 if you want to work on vocabulary, or The Frames if you are studying ways to approach an artwork. Both give you terms you can practice recalling before moving on to longer questions.

Study with the decks

Try answering each prompt before looking at the other side of the card. Return to terms you find difficult, then use them to describe an artwork. For examples involving particular artists, the Niki de Saint Phalle deck asks about sculptures and shooting paintings, while Term 2 Art Study includes Glenn Murcutt and Howard Arkley.

When you need a wider explanation, switch to a mind map or notes on the unit page. Use a quiz to check your recall in another format. Try a deck that matches the topic you are studying.
