Why do we need a criteria for judging
art?•Otherwise everything would be
considered the same•To obtain a better
understanding of art and its purpose
•To distinguish good art from bad art

Art is the objectification of feeling.

Art as an Expression of Emotion
The purpose of art is for the artist to express an emotion, and in turn, evoke emotion in its
audience.
Through artistic expression, we can tap
into a deeper understanding of life,
reality, etc.

How does the emotion theory work?
Art expresses emotions and illuminates life. A good artist succeeds at
expressing emotion through their work, as well as communicating
emotion for the audience to experience.
A bad work of art fails to execute these things
successfully.

Why is this theory sufficient for
evaluating art? •Art is creative, and
requires the artist to have “intuitive knowledge” which comes from the imagination. •Philosopher Benedetto Croce
said, “the spirit only intuits in making, forming,
expressing.”

What about other theories? •Imitation
•Form•Art Authority
Good art does not always imitate life or follow form, nor does the artworld always agree on which works are good
or bad. More often, the artist has a
feeling behind his or her work of art that they are
expressing and attempting to convey to their audience.
