Art

Describe an example of when analyzing art diminished the value of the art.

I believe that artwork of another person should not be graded because the person who is analyzing the art does not know or feel the piece of art like the artist does.  When someone analyzes someone else’s work, it usually takes away the value of the art because the examiner has a different view on it then the artist.  The artist’s vision should be the only one that counts.  Possible suggestions are allow to help open the eyes of the artist to a new different direction, but I strictly don’t believe that anyone has the right to say an artwork isn’t art.  I believe that the only person who can really judge his/her work is the artist him/herself.  

An example about art losing their value when being analyzed is during the IB Art Exam.  Emily and Arcadia made a strong point about it in their presentation.  I agreed with both of them and art should never be analyzed once it’s done, but suggestions during the process of the work should be allow.  Art is the heart and soul of the artist, and no one has a right to say, “That’s not art.” or “That’s not right, you should do it this way and that.”   It’s the vision of the artist, you just have to take it like it is and if you think you can do it better, then let’s have you do it.
