Evaluating Art…
02 May 2013 Comments Off on Evaluating Art…
After completing “Not Exactly Mona” and “Grant Proposal Excerpt” think for a minute about how art is approached differently by the many different people who are viewing art, people who are creating art and people who are funding art.
1. How is the art evaluated differently by someone granting government funds than someone who is just observing art for intellectual pursuit? Please give several to give specific examples. A generous paragraph comparing the criteria used in the formal critique process (4 steps) and the grant consideration process.
2. What considerations would a museum make in evaluating work to be purchased for collection?
3. What considerations might a for profit gallery make in evaluating artist to display?
