When researching art reviews in Art in America, Art Forum, Ceramics Monthly, and American Craft, I found some common criteria relating to subject, object, form and content. Based on my research I developed my own criteria as follows:
1.Begin with an introduction of the artist or the venue or the work being reviewed.
2. Develop a thread for my reader to follow throughout my review.
3. Consider the Artist's intention as best I could while giving my reaction.
4. Is the work visually compelling and thought-provoking?
5. What was the connection of the works to the bigger whole/ theme of the show?
6. What were the reactions of other viewers at the show?
7. Tie the writing together in a conclusion with an overall critique of the show being a success or failure and why.
