    The Feldman Method is a 3 step process for analyzing and critiquing a work of art. Step 1 is description, where you objectively describe what you see in the artwork without opinions. Step 2 is analysis, where you examine how the elements of art and principles of design are used in the work. Step 3 is interpretation, where you interpret the artist's intention and message based on your description and analysis. The principles of design examined are balance, emphasis, repetition, movement, and contrast.
