I am always looking to improve my writing skills, so I decided to start a blog. Most of the posts are about art criticism.

How To Become An Art Critic is a blog about art criticism, whether it be about the famous artist of the week, to a gallery review. My goal is to provide art criticism from different perspectives. I also post on other topics that interest me, such as comics or sports.

I write under the pseudonym Grayson Allen because I’m not quite ready to reveal my true identity just yet. The world has not yet realized how good this website will be and I don’t want them to judge it based on my name alone. Maybe when people see how amazing this website is they will know I’m more than just another Grayson Allen. For now though, I remain anonymous for no other reason than self-enjoyment.

This site is still in its infancy stage and needs help from readers like you! So send me your submissions! If you have any art related events that need coverage or an upcoming show or exhibit you think would be of interest let me know via email graysonallenaatgmailDOTcom or message me on Facebook @ How To Become An Art Critic , Twitter @Grayson_Allen , Instagram @ Grayson

I have been in the art world for a while now, and here are my tips to becoming an art critic.

One:You have to be passionate about the art. It is your job to understand what every artist sees in their art. You also need to know as much as possible about art history and the artist or artists you are critiquing. The more you know, the more you will understand why they made the choices they did when creating their work.

Two:You have to look at more artwork than just the artist or gallery that is being critiqued. You need to look at other artists who either influenced them or were working around the same time period.

Three:Go out and study with other critics and take classes on how to become an art critic in general. There are many different ways of doing it, but you will learn from others who already do it for a living and can give you tips on how to become better in your field.

Where do you start if you want to become an art critic? There are a few things you should keep in mind. First, the art world is huge and fascinating, there is something to critique in every aspect of it. Before you try to critique anything, familiarize yourself with the scene before you.

If you want to review art like a professional then make sure that you check out the artist’s past work, check to see if they have any upcoming shows, and what kind of reception they had in their last show.

Reviewing art is not just about critiquing the work itself; the context in which it was created can provide insight into the artist’s state of mind when they created their piece.

The best way to critique art is to explain what you liked or didn’t like about it. Try not to simply describe what it looks like as words cannot capture an image exactly.

I will never forget the first time I saw a Jeff Koons Balloon Dog. The piece was called “My Pop”, and it was on display in the garden of the Palazzo Grassi in Venice. I was awestruck by its sheer size, and the vibrant colors literally jumped off the canvas.

I have no doubt that this piece is a masterpiece, but should it be? Many people don’t think so. Some people even consider “My Pop” to be one of the most over-rated pieces ever created. And yet, it still fetches a high price at auction houses, sometimes as much as $91 million!

The difference between an over-rated masterpiece and a hidden gem often comes down to personal taste. That’s why we need art critics to tell us what’s good and what’s bad. They are our unbiased opinion makers, and they help us sort through all the clutter of the gallery world.

What drives an art critic to share their view with us? In Grayson Perry’s Art Club, Perry invites other famous artists and cultural icons to join him for a gin martini and some free-form discussion in order to answer that question. Do these art critics have ulterior motives or hidden agendas? Are they driven by fame or fortune

For artists, creating art is very important, but so is being recognized for it. And so they seek out critics who will give them the recognition that they crave.

Artists want criticism because it makes them feel better about themselves and their work. Criticism helps artists deal with rejection. Without criticism, some artists would be crushed by rejection, and may never create anything again. Some people believe that many famous artists would not have created anything if they had not been criticized in the first place.

Art critics are like the opposite of therapists. Instead of helping an artist, art critics tear apart the artist’s work, and then help them put it back together again.

Art critics are very different from other kinds of media critics like movie reviewers or music reviewers who usually give their opinion on how a particular piece of art should be judged instead of how it was made. Art critics usually do not say whether a piece of art is good or bad. They just tell you what is wrong with it, and how to make it better.”

When I was in high school I was a member of the art club. It was there that I learnt to appreciate art. The first thing we did in the club was paint a picture. We painted a picture of a person with flowers or something and it was ok, but then we got better and our art teacher said that we were good and to keep doing it because we get better. I really didn’t want to be in the art club but my friend forced me in. The next day we had to draw a still life and the teacher gave us a bunch of things to look at like pictures of fruit, vegetables and flowers which we had to draw from memory. After that she told us to just go crazy with what ever we wanted. So I drew this weird lady with some demons around her, it took about 8 hours for me to finish it because I had to work on other classes too but when I finished I showed it to my friends and they were amazed at how good i was…lol

The history of art is a history of artists and their patrons. In the earliest civilizations we can find evidence of works of art, but we cannot find who made these works. We know from later histories that in these early civilizations, kings and queens were the patrons of art, but we don’t know if this was always the case. For example, there are no surviving works of Ancient Egyptian art, at least none that have survived to modern times. We cannot tell if this is because there were no artists in the land or if their work was not valued. Once again we must rely on later writings to know anything about their art, and once again it is from later writings that we know that kings and queens in Ancient Egypt were great patrons of art and architecture.

And so it has been through most of history where much has been lost to time and conquest. The works produced by artists have long outlasted the civilization that created them. This is certainly true when looking at Ancient Greece and Rome, whose art still influences our own today. During these periods, public officials were the patrons of arts. While the wealthy citizens certainly commissioned pieces for themselves, they did not control the patronage system at large in these societies as they would have in later centuries when governments took over while still allowing
