Can someone help me with this art question?

Question

what does it mean to have an emotion criteria for art?

Answer 1

Well, critiquing art is where you judge the art for why its art, the elements that make it up. To throw in an emotion critiquing would be judging it for its emotional essence. What feelings is the art expressing, how do you read into those feelings, the stories. How do these feelings affect yours, so you compare and contrast your emotions towards that expressed from the art.
