 OBJECTIVES
Point out the importance of critiquing available art materials
01 and appropriate techniques,

Differentiate the difference between critiquing and

02 criticizing,

Discuss ways of critiquing available art materials and

03 appropriate techniques.
IN CREATING ART, THE ARTIST HAS TO CHECK THE ART
MATERIALS NECESSARY FOR THE CONCEIVED ARTWORK.
THE KIND AND QUALITY OF ART MATERIALS WILL HAVE NO
BEARING OR IMPORTANCE AT ALL IF THEY ARE
INAPPROPRIATE FOR THE KIND OF ARTWORK TO BE
CREATED. THEY ALSO HAVE NO BEARING IF THEY ARE
NOT PROPERLY USED IN CREATING ART ASSUMING THAT
THEY ARE APPROPRIATE. A PROPER EVALUATION OF
THESE ART MATERIALS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY THE
ARTIST.
 IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE SHOULD
BE AWARE THAT THERE IS A NEED TO
LOOK INTO THE KIND, QUALITY AND
QUANTITY OF ART MATERIALS. THEIR
APPROPRIATENESS, ACCESSIBILITY
AND AFFORDABILITY ARE CONCERNS
ESSENTIAL IN CREATING AN ARTWORK.
 A dedicated and sincere artist
takes his or her choice of art
materials and artistic technique
seriously.
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.
 Picture Analysis

materials and art techniques.
There are five art materials and
techniques to be evaluated.
Analyze and describe each of
them in 1 to 5 words only. Write
down your evaluation on a one-
fourth sheet of paper.

 Critiquing vs.
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.

 Availability
An art material has to be obtainable,
ready for use, at hand. Simply put, the
art material exists or is physically
present for the artist to use. It is
already there; this is the quality of
being able to be used or obtained.
Accessibility
An art material has to be within the
artist’s reach, easily acquired without
much effort or difficulty for the artist.
It is the quality of being acquired or
used easily.
Affordability
An art material has to be within the
financial capacity of the artist to be
purchased or bought. The artist can bear
or meet the expense of acquiring the
needed art material. Though a cheap
good quality art material is good, but an
art material acquired for free is still the
best.

Appropriateness
The manner by which the artist is
going to apply in creating an artwork
should be suited to the kind of art
materials that will be used as well as
suited to the kind of art technique.
 Mastery
It is expected that the artist is skilled and
highly knowledgeable of the art technique.
The right art materials are there, and the
suited 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
Art technique should be functional and
sensible for the objectives 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
