03 available art materials and
appropriate techniques.
The way an artist critiques the available art materials and the appropriate
techniques as one of the tasks in creating an artwork gives a purposeful interest
and sense of direction to what the artist is doing. With this understanding,
critiquing imparts value on the effort of the artist to come out with a
worthwhile artwork. However, critiquing should not be relegated to criticizing
which entirely different and potentially discouraging as it imparts disapproval. It is
important to know the difference between critiquing and criticizing. The artist
critiques, not criticizes.
Critiquing Versus Criticizing
Relying on feelings for evaluation, depending heavily on the visual appeal of the
artwork, judging the finished product of the creation as either beautiful or ugly,
nice or not nice, are some of the gauges used for criticizing.
Critique is taken from the Greek kritike tekhne, which means "the critical art“. It
is somewhat a formal word that typically refers to a careful judgment. It refers
to the detailed analysis and assessment of something. On the other hand,
criticism refers to a sharp or severe disapproval of something, generally based
on perceived faults or errors. It is judging with disapproval. It is negative in
nature

being acquired or used easily.
An art material has to be within the financial capacity of the artist

Critiquing Appropriate Art
Technique

which an artist employs the technical skills of
a particular art. It is the means, process or
methods of using art materials in a manner
that the artist wants to use in order to create
an artwork. It is also important to assess art
technique that is going to be used in creating
an artwork. Some of the considerations in
critiquing the appropriate art technique are
appropriateness, mastery and practicality.
Critiquing Appropriate Art Technique
The manner by which the artist is going to apply in creating an
Appropriateness artwork should be suited to the kind of art materials that will be
used as well as suited to the kind of art technique.

the art technique. The right art materials are there and the suited
Mastery art technique is appropriate to the art form but if the artist is not
adept with the use of the specific technique to be applied, the
outcome might run contrary to what is expected.

Practicality or purpose set by the artist for the creation of the artwork.
Practicality makes the art technique truly appropriate when it is
indeed useful for the artist and when it is understandably fit for the
kind of art materials and for the conceived artwork.
