Which article are you evaluating?
Anthropology of art

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
The reason why I chose it is because it relates to the two aspects of this course both the Art historical aspect as well as the anthropological one. It matters because understanding the culture that surrounds the art that we are studying we can better understand it. Based on first impressions it seems to be a concise but informative introduction into the subject.

Evaluate the article
This article meets many of the guidelines that were laid out in the evaluation guide above. It has a strong and concise lead that gives the reader just enough information that they can understand what the rest of the article is going to be about. The actual content of the article is relevant to the topic and informative, however, I feel as if it would benefit from including more information about other aspects of the Anthropology of art since currently it feels a bit incomplete and as if it is missing important aspects of both the methods used in the Anthropology of art and its history, which was pointed out by user Scbrobst in the talk page of the article. Its tone is neutral and strictly informative, and at no points did I feel as if it was attempting to persuade me. All of the sources used within the article are scholarly and are written by experts in the field of anthropology, and all of the links to the sources that have links are functional. The actual writing of the article is clear, concise, and is void of grammatical errors. It is well organized and utilizes headers to effectively differentiate between the different sections of the article. Overall it seems to be an ok article that accomplishes the goal of giving the reader a basic understanding of what the Anthropology of art is, however, as stated earlier it would benefit from being expanded upon.
