at what step in the critiquing process do you discuss how the visual artist used the principles of design in their artwork?

In the Analyzing step.

Explanation:

When critiquing an art piece, there are a number of steps that you need to go through in order to give a detailed critique.

The first one would be Description, you say what you see. What is the painting showing you?

The second one is Analysis, in this step you go into detail about the elements used by the artist, starting from texture, leading to technique, and artistic principals.

Next step would be Interpretation, here you establish the artists feelings and emotions, you try to understand what the artist is trying to say, what is the message?

Finally, the last step would be Judgement. Here you can give our personal opinion of the piece. Do you like it? What have you learnt from it?
