| definition | the process of analyzing a work of art and assigning it meaning. |
| editorial note | The vad:VisualAnalysis annotation makes art interpretation synonymous with art visual analysis. To say they are not synonymous in practice and are separate steps is a false dichotomy, a pedagogical convention. The moment you choose to describe a composition as "tense" rather than "balanced" you've already interpreted. |
