Critic

As a critic, you express your evaluation and opinion about different kinds of creative works such as art, literature, music, film, theatre, fashion and cuisine. You may also be a critic of other forms of creative works such as architecture and food. Critics may also choose to focus on social or political policies as their topic. When making critical judgments, whether or not they are based on critical thinking, they consider a variety of factors, including an assessment of the extent to which the item under consideration achieves its purpose and the intention of its creator, as well as an understanding of the context in which it is being used. They may also add a personal reaction, which may be favourable or negative.

Speaking clearly and skillfully in language are essential characteristics of a competent critic, as is the ability to utilise language with a high degree of appeal and competence. It's also essential to have empathy, sensitivity, and insight. The critic takes into account the form, the style, and the medium. In architectural and culinary criticism, the item's purpose, value, and cost may all be considered as additional components of the evaluation.

Critics are widely recognised and, to a considerable extent, followed as a result of the quality of their evaluations or the notoriety of the individuals who provide them. Influential critics of art, music, theatre, and architecture often express their views in full-length books on their subjects of interest. The Seven Lamps of Architecture and The Stones of Venice by John Ruskin are two of the most well-known examples of this. A variety of theoretical perspectives may be used by critics to form their opinions. Take, for example, a feminist or a Freudian point of view on the subject.
