Critiquing Available Materials and Appropriate Techniques
I. Critiquing vs. Criticizing
Critiquing
- Thought more than felt – It emphasizes the process of creating art rather than the emotional response.
- Concerned with the process of creating art – Focuses on the techniques and methods used by the artist.
- Considered the artist's technique – Evaluates how well the artist applied their skills.
- More objective than subjective – Based on analysis and observation rather than personal feelings.
Criticizing
- Felt more than thought – Centers on emotional reactions rather than technical aspects.
- Concerned with what is perceived through the senses – Focuses on the viewer's perception of the artwork.
- Considered the artist as good or not good – Judges the artist based on their output.
- More subjective than objective – Influenced by personal preferences rather than factual analysis.
II. Critique vs. Criticism
Critique comes from the Greek word kritike tekhne, meaning the critical art. It refers to a formal, careful judgment or detailed analysis and assessment of an artwork.
On the other hand, criticism refers to a sharp or severe disapproval of something, often based on perceived faults or errors in the artwork.
