Grading Art

How do you grade art? In high school essays and stuff has a way of being graded by spelling, grammar, sentence structure, but what if the structure was made in a way to convey a point, what if the poor spelling, run on sentences, etc were part of the art and imagery that the writer was trying to convey? How do you grade art?

Critics have a hard job. They have to review things and not care if they hurt the artist. The artist in turn has to understand that their art may just not be for that person. Look at the movie Venom, it was hated by critics, but loved by fans. Critics literally just tell people if you like the same things as me, you will either love it or hate it. It is a pretty odd profession if you think about it.

I find doing reviews extremely hard, which is probably why I haven’t put any up in a long time. I am planning on doing them, I just hate criticizing someone’s hard work. Yes Call of Duty is the same game released yearly, but it is a game that people love and that a team took years to make, so who am I to say whether it is a good game or not? What makes a game good? Is it fun had while playing? Story? Replayability? Least amount of bugs? All of the above? For me I want it to be all of the above and maybe more. When I start doing reviews again I will be posting videos and clips of me playing it, along with a scoring system and then a final score from that system.

Now to just figure out the scores and start writing reviews.
