Formalism (art)\Article Evaluation link- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formalism_(art) Content: Everything in the article is related to the topic. Although this is true the individual sections could be a little longer. The length could increase by adding more detailed explanations or examples of the topics. The citations on this wiki page could also be quoted inside the text better and there is a need for a full citation for all of the sources. Tone: The tone is natural. There is not bias to one particular source or position. No viewpoint is over or underrepresented. Sources: Looking into the source "Towards a Newer Laocoon" by Clement Greenberg there seemed to be no relationship to art or how formalism is used in art. Other than this source being an issue no other sources seem to have a bias and lineup with the appropriate claims. Talk page: The talk page brings awareness to the Greenberg sources as problematic. It also references how the page's layout is not cohesive and how the topic could be explained in a better way. This page is a part of 2 wikiproject pages: Philosophy and visual arts. Overall it is rated ineffective. The talk page is more informal than I remember talking about in class.

Question: How is formalism used to explain prehistoric art and why is this usage important?
