Assignment Two

Describe the 4 domains of creativity:

Fluency- In creativity fluency means to come up with many ideas. For example, if you can look at a painting or object and generate many creative ideas about that object your ideas are fluent.

Flexibility- Flexibility involves the individual's ability to create a variety of ideas. So while their focus may still be set on the one object, Flexibility of thought allows them to venture out of the box and think about the object in different ways.

Originality- Like with many aspects of life, originality involves the creation of different and unique ideas. However, some definitions describe originality as unusual ideas.

Elaboration- Elaboration on an idea requires that the observer add and contribute to the idea in progress. In general, this addition in thought is supposed to make the idea better.

Describe the Feldman Method of Art Criticism:

Describe- When describing the artwork, the following features are very important: the artist, the size of the artwork, the medium that was used, and the prominent characteristics of the artwork

Analyze- When one analyzes the artwork they try to unveil why, what, or how something is a certain way. In order to analyze the art the observer must take elements found in the art to describe it.

Interpret- To interpret art means to give the art work a reason to be a certain way. To do that we are to look at the vibes the art gives off, as well as uncover any story the art is portraying. In addition we have to uncover weather there is any additional meaning.

Judge or Evaluate- To judge or evaluate the art means to critique the art in either a negative or positive way by evaluating if it appeals to your senses. For example, Andy Warhol's painting always appealed to me because I enjoyed in contrast of colors he used in his images
