These criteria are: A) Eliot's Criteria: Innovation--How innovative is the work in terms of experimentation and pushing the artform forward in new directions? B) Frost's Criteria: Accessibility--How accessible is the art? Does it relate well to most people? How easy is it to understand and grasp? C) Cummings's Criteria: Experiential--How well does the work/art make the reader feel like they are having an experience and not merely reading a poem or story? D) Dickinson's Criteria: Emotional Connection--How well does the work/art spark certain feelings and emotions? Does the piece move me emotionally in some way? * 4) Since there are 4 ways of critiquing art, you will apply the criteria to the piece you choose by assigning percentages, divided 4 ways to total 100%.  For example, you may choose to critique Maya Angelou's poem, "On the Pulse of Morning," assigning it a 25% for Innovation; 50% for Accessibility; 5% for Experiential; and 20% for Emotional Connection. You can assign any number percentage for each criteria that you want, but they must add up to 100%.  * 5) As you assess your chosen selection, and as you assign a percentage to each criteria, then explain why you assigned the percentages that you did.  * 6) Your response should be a written 4-5 paragraphs and labeled thusly (As an example): Innovation___%, explanation why; Accessibility___%, explanation why; Experiential___%, explanation why; Emotional Connection___%, explanation why.  * 7) If you choose, you may also give an audible, VERBAL Response where you can verbally explain the assigned percentages and give your explanation.  8) If you give a VERBAL response, then please put "Answered Aloud" in the submission box.
