What is a critique?

    The definition of a critique is a criticism or detailed evaluation on a piece of work. The piece of work can range from literary, film, music, or art. Critiques can often be viewed as something that the creator would worry about because some people believe that the critiques will have negative things said about their work, rather than helpful points. For example, often film critiques are either stated as good or bad, with points that the authors believe make their claim valid. People can often read film critiques that outright say, “This movie is a waste of money,” or some phrase along those lines. This is often where people get the fear of having something of theirs critiqued. However, a good critique is never about stating negativity about the piece someone is critiquing. It is about point out the strong points and weak points of the piece. This will help the creator know what to work on when he or she makes future pieces.
    When it comes to art, a good critique is never about saying the piece is just good or bad. It is about pointing out the strong points of the work and suggesting what could use some work or practice. With a critique, it also involves interpreting what the artist is trying to convey in the piece and making sure that it can be clear to other people. The art piece cannot just have the view of the artist. The artist’s view point should be part of it, but it the piece should also be able to communicate to a wide rang of an audience. When critiquing a piece of work, it is also part of telling if someone enjoys or does not enjoy the piece. However, they should also have specific reason and points about the piece to explain why they feel that way. Over all a critique is a constructed criticism that points out the weak and strong points of a piece.
