Art criticismArt Criticism is concerned with judging the value of art., is the analysis and evaluation of works of artArt refers to a diverse range of human intellectual and expressive activities and the outcomes of those activities. Within this context art is further defined as visual art and includes painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, photography and work made using digital media.. More subtly, art criticism is often tied to theoryA theory of art is intended to contrast with a definition of art. Traditionally, definitions are composed of necessary and sufficient conditions and a single counterexample overthrows such a definition. Theorising about art, on the other hand, is analogous to a theory of a natural phenomenon like gravity; it is interpretive, involving the effort to understand a particular work of art from a theoretical perspective and to establish its significance in the history of art.
