Have you give a resounding analysis and come to conclude something that the art conveys? Does your evaluation have any basis or just that subjective view?
Be it any case do make it known and not make up anything. For any supporting basis, do remember to quote accurately the sources and include them in the bibliography towards the end.
Yet if there is no need to or no supporting reasons, leave them open -ended and leave the conclusions if any to your readers.

Writing Art Criticism: Observe and Analyze
You have your first impressions and observations noted down as well. Now open the analytical eyes and mind and observe what the artist have produced.
Next you have to analyze the what you have perceived and felt. Then you have to critic on why the artist have acted in the ways. This whats and whys will involved a lot of aspects like relating to history for example contrasting with another work, the relation to commercial, social, religious, intra-personal, scientific etc. aspects the scene depicted and visual senses that are caused to invoke.
Do make a list of all this whats and whys, then mapped them out with the associated aspects observed and analyzed, then structure your criticism and if you are given certain constraints like word limits or excerpts, then summarize or extract as appropriate.

Writing Art Criticism: What's your first impression?
If ever you are on the way to write on a art with critics, do be very attuned to how you feel, sense and think at the first impression. For this is one instinct that is uniquely yours. It is true and there is nothing wrong except to mention and share your experience of the art.
Then you may log your findings where your first impressions change, deepen or vanish. This is your experience of the art piece and how it relates to you and vice versa in this exchange of attention and time. You will need a big and long collection of art jargons which you will need to spend on countless of art critics, so called your predecessors to describe your art piece and you will be marveled as to the increase and evolution of your art criticism where you go in depth and/or enlarge your grasp of the art piece that invokes you to express so vividly your experience to draw your own pool of interested readers you influenced by your writings all based on your impressions that becomes first again.
