The Role Of Criticism In Performing Arts Competitions In Michigan

By Mark Stone


As soon as a person starts to think he starts to criticize. Human nature is inclined to comparison and discussion, and I'm sure that everybody has more than once received personal evidence that this is true, for example after viewing new movie, meeting a new person or when watching a talk show. Even if we don't want to make a judgment about something, the words come out of our mouths of their own accord, and a lot of the time we do not notice it, because it is so natural to us to analyze our experience, come to a conclusion and then voice our opinion. But what is the role played by critics in Performing arts competitions in Michigan?

The best way to get a great digital image of your painting/sculpture or artwork is to take it outside on an overcast day making sure there are no shadows on it. Fill the frame of your viewfinder of your digital camera with your painting taking care that you have lined it up square on. Don't shoot looking up, down or at an angle because the photograph will not end up square. Have your camera set on the highest resolution possible.

Art is often a very ambiguous phenomenon, making explanation and discussion a valuable tool in understanding more about it. Furthermore, a specific work of art generally demands awareness of past art movements and works, and a sense of what is currently happening in the art world. For this reason, art criticism is sometimes a necessary and useful help in understanding art.

At the same time, because many people find it useful in these ways, criticism can have enormous power to educate and influence the opinions of those who are exposed to it. That is why each critic must observe unwritten rules to ensure responsible criticism, the best list for which is probably the one made up by the great Russian scientist and writer Mikhail Lomonosov. According to Lomonosov, critics must do following:

Make sure you save the image in the correct format and size - read the conditions for the art competition you are entering. Most organizers will accept the format "Jpeg" or "Tiff" and will often have a labeling convention that needs to be followed with your name and the title of your artwork. When you burn the image on the CD include any notes or additional information in a word document at the same time. Label the CD clearly with your name, title of work and address and phone number. If you want to you could print a customized label for your CD and include the image you are entering in the art competition.

Many people wrongly leave their advanced camera set on Automatic. To get the shading in your photo to coordinate your work of art, you have to see how to set the White Balance. Each time you shoot under various lighting conditions you should reset the White Balance. Check your manual for how to do this on your camera.

Art criticism influences so many aspects of the art market: the themes that are popular with artists for their artworks, the value of artworks at auction, the viewer's attitude to a particular artwork or art movement, a specific artist's acknowledgement and success. And today, when, despite worries about art critics being laid off and becoming less relevant, art critics even have their own non-governmental organization, under the aegis of UNESCO, called the International Association of Art Critics.

All in all, ensure to train well and show up on time for the completions. Have a good coach and the right training program. Ensure also to invest in the best and quality video and photography equipment.
