Analyze The Author’s Purpose In Providing An Explanation, Describing A Procedure, Or Discussing An Experiment In A Text, Defining The Questions The Author Seeks To Address.

Our Procedure is Art Criticism
Art criticism involves a specific way of looking at a work of art. You can make judgement about art without being a professional artist, all you need to do is learn to look (see) and think about what you are seeing. Critiquing a work of art is like playing detective. You must assume that the artist has a secret message hidden.

We will apply this using a famous painting, titled Guernica, by Pablo Picasso.
