Miranda's+Criteria

In my opinion, good art has a good mixture of color that draws in the eye.

In my opinion, good art isn't obvious, it's mysterious, and it makes you think about what you're looking at, or what's happening in the painting.

In my opinion, good art is something I can keep looking at every day for the rest of my life and enjoying it the same as the first time I saw it.

In my opinion, good art is something that captures my attention when I'm walking past, and makes me stop what I'm doing to enjoy it.

In my opinion, good art looks like it was carefully thought about, worked on for a long time, and looks like it had to go through many phases to be completely finished.

In my opinion, art has to be seen in context.

Jessica's work did not meet my qualifications for what I think good artwork is. Her color combination's looked sloppy to me, and everything looked thrown together and not carefully thought about. Her art would not catch my attention if I was walking past, because it looks like a bunch of plastic trash thrown together. I also would not be able to look at her work every day for the rest of my life because I was bored at first sight. Also her work isn't mysterious at all, and it doesn't make me think.

Jessica Stockholder

Marc Chagall

I don't completely dislike either Jessica Stockholder's or Marc Chagall's artwork, but whenever I look at their art it doesn't catch my attention. I feel like Marc Chagall's work is all over the place. Whenever I look at his art, I feel like the objects he puts in the picture together don't belong in the same picture, and that he should make it simpler. I also feel like Jessica Stockholder's art is unorganized, and just has random pieces thrown together that don't work well as a unit.
