Naja's+Criteria

__My Art Criteria:__

1. In my opinion, good art work should have an abstract meaning within the piece of art. 2. In my opinion, great art work should not be strait forward art that does not make you think. 3. In my opinion, good art should not be a piece of perfection, but rather beauty within the flaws. 4. In my opinion, good art should understand how to use negative spaces. 5. In my opinion, good art is not of the norm.

Jessica Stockholders work meets my criteria in 1, 2, and 5, but I still do not agree with the concept nor the style of her art. In the beginning the paper she was creating appealed to me, but the concept of something that she is trying to convey, which in reality is nothing at all is just a form of manipulation.

Comparison:

I truly dislike Stockholder, because she tries to make stupidity look like something worth looking at, but I really like Chagall, because he knows how to bring about beauty in the simplicity of his paintings. Stockholder and Chagall are both trying to create beauty in their art in an effortless manor, but Chagall pulls it off beautifully and Stockholder just seems to make a fool of herself. In my art criteria list I stated good art has meaning, makes you think, has beauty within it's flaws, understand negative spaces, and should not be of the norm. Chagall has accomplished everything on this list, but Stockholder has only touched a few.
