January 27, 2010. Here is the Crit Card Method!

Ah, so here is the day we did the Crit Cards! The Crit Card Method was created by Tom Anderson. This assessment looks at works of art and their contexts to see what they tell us about the human condition. Three main questions are asked, basically saying, what is this, what does it mean, and what is it worth? This assessment is interesting in that it gives the person different visual images to think about, asking the questions in reference to the person. To me it seems to be from the persons point of view. This can be very telling of things in some cases, such as in the case of an affective disorder. How might you be able to tell? Well, if the picture was of a smiling happy face, and the person being questioned said it was mad, you might have a problem. I think this assessment is interesting in that it can bring up many unique things to people, such as different social standings, different culture meanings, and even different meanings for different genders.
