If I go to a museum, and see a ton of paintings, how do I know which ones are better? I mean, I realize they all take skill to do, but if I just eye-ball it, none of them looking amazing, if you know what I mean.
If how-close-it-is-to-real-life is a determinant, then there are some REALLY good ones are out there. If it's I-don't-get-it-what's-it-mean-so-many-colors.... etc. Like my artist friend would go "OMG THAT'S SO PRO!!!!" and I'm staring at it thinking it looks just like every other painting. |

I really think its objective and depends on the viewer. What some people find art, some people don't. "One man's trash is another man's treasure." In my graphic design class, yeah we learned about composition and colour schemes, etc. and yeah that sometimes has a hand in it, but not all the time. *shrug*
