What makes art good or bad? | RMIT University?

Art is like a toy that someone made to share their feelings, and what makes it good or bad depends on how well it does that.

Good art feels like a favorite toy: you know why you love playing with it, and it makes you happy or excited. Maybe it’s colorful, or it tells a story you can imagine in your head. It doesn’t have to be perfect, sometimes the messiest drawings are the ones that mean the most.

Bad art might feel like a toy that didn’t work quite right, maybe it was broken when you got it, or it just didn’t do anything fun. But even bad art can teach us something new, like how someone tried to make a happy picture but ended up with a sad one instead.

• Feelings matter: If the art shows strong feelings, like joy or sadness, that helps people connect with it.
• Creativity counts: Even if the lines are wobbly, using new colors or shapes can make art feel exciting and fresh.
• Understanding is key: Sometimes people don’t get what the art is trying to say, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. It just means you need to look closer! Art is like a toy that someone made to share their feelings, and what makes it good or bad depends on how well it does that.
