Jordan's+Criteria

1. In my opinion, good art should be able to tell a story. It should have a good meaning behind the work of art itself. 2. In my opinion, good art should consist of many colors. Art that has dull colors doesn't attract or keep my attention for very long. 3. In my opinion, good art should draw your eyes to it for more than a few seconds. It should make you ask yourself questions about the piece of art work. 4. In my opinion, good art should have more than one meaning behind it. It should symbolize multiple things. 5. In my opinion, good art should look as if there was a great deal of work put into it. 6. In my opinion, art should be done in a good context.

Jessica Stockholder met criteria points two and three. Even though she met two of my five requirements, I do not like her art work at all. I feel as if it doesn't serve a purpose. Her artwork makes me feel very confused baffled. Yes she used bright colors and it drew me in, however, the reason the work pulled me in was not in a positive way. Overall, I really just do not like this artist.

Comparing Jessica Stockholder to Chagall.

Jessica Stockholder

Marc Chagall

Even though both Stockholder and Chagall's pieces of work are very colorful, I like Marc Chagall's paintings more than Jessica Stockholder's art work. Chagall's works tell more of a story, while Stockholder's, in my opinion, do not have enough stories behind them.
