How to Judge Art

I've come to realize that every single person in this world (other than me) has a lot of trouble deciphering the difference between good art and bad art.

Some people might say it's impossible to tell what's good and what's bad when it comes to art and I'm here to say those people are wrong.

The only factor one should consider when determining a work of art's goodness is its size. The bigger the art, the better. Amazingly simple as it may be, this is the best way to truly critique art.

There is no downfall to this system of measurement.


So how do you tell what's good art? Well, let's take two pieces of art and try to figure out which is the better art together. The two pieces of artwork that I will be examining the "goodness" of are:

The Mona Lisa
and The Statue of Liberty


The Mona Lisa comes in at 31 x 21 inches in length. The Statue of Liberty comes in at approximately 12 acres.

The Statue of Liberty is obviously therefore a
much better work of art.

Try this at home. It's applicable to every form of art and is a fun and easy way to judge other people's work.
