The best advice I have for Juliette is to start with a description of the piece. This foundational step allows her to observe and articulate what she sees without jumping straight to evaluations or interpretations, which can be more subjective. Describing the elements of the artwork—such as colors, shapes, composition, and subject matter—provides a solid starting point for deeper analysis and critique.
