The purpose of this paper is to examine pedagogical methods of art criticism for non-Western art by exploring the historical development and current status of teaching art criticism in the United States. In this paper several pedagogical art criticism formats are reviewed: Feldman(1973), Broudy(1988), Mittler(1980), Hamblen(1984), Lankford(1984), Anderson(1993), and Fehr(1994), Because current methods of art criticism focus more on pluralistic or multicultural approaches, external cues such as historic and contextual information is broadly emphasized and evaluated in this paper. Walsh’s ten-step DBAE model is used for art criticism of non-Western art. This model encourages students to study non-Western art by searching both internal and external cues. This paper also shows how each step of Waish’s model can be applied to Korean folk paintings, hwacho (Bird and Flowers) screens.
