Many philosophers have addressed the question, "What is art?" or also, "What is beautiful?" These sorts of questions are in the field of aesthetics -- an attempt to consider what is pleasing to the senses and emotions and why. It is often said, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" ... but leaving it at that means that there are no standards whatsoever for what someone can call beautiful or artistic. The philosopher John Stuart Mill argued that only people who have experienced the highest forms of art & culture as well as common or low forms of art or culture are in a position to judge what is truly "the best" in art (or music, etc). Think of it this way: If all you ever looked at were paintings of Elvis on black velvet or paintings of dogs playing poker, you might think that's great art. But if you experience more intricate, more complex forms of art -- or, for that matter, more aesthetically original pieces like Jackson Pollock drip paintings -- you may come to have a heightened appreciation of what counts as "artistic."

Other philosophers, like Immanuel Kant, would point to some sort of universal standards we all recognize in regard to beauty. Such standards will be in line with ethical values we have. So, for instance, if someone makes a snuff film (recording an actual murder), it wouldn't matter how well done the cinematography is. We would find such so-called "art" evil and offensive.

So yes, there's a wide range of possibilities and appeals for art and the emotions that it evokes, and yet there can be some measure of "goodness" that we can feel when we experience good art.

Since art is subjective, and there are many different styles of art out there, it is quite difficult to critique it. Of course, it is still possible to do so. Looking at an image, deciding what that focal point, meaning, materials, and how the principles of art were used, will help determine where the artist could do better. Of course, most of this is up to opinions, but it is also by comparing two similar artworks. Now there are artists who decide to change how they do their artwork, creating new techniques, or styles of art. Sure they may not care to have restrictions placed onto them, but in art, once out of classes and such, thee aren't very many, just what others expect of them. Artists that choose to use different/ unique techniques are simply exploring a little or finding more of their style. To some artists, they may not feel realistic or subjective art really calls out to them, so they may try abstract, or other types, or create their own form of art. It's not whether or not on how I feel about this type of art, it's up to the artist to figure out how they feel about their own artwork, for in the end, it's if the artist is proud of their art or not. With many different people in the world, who all like different things, an artist can never please everyone with their artwork, only the select few that do like it can they please. for art is perceived in the eye of the beholder.

hope this helps. it is correct in ed2020
