Flexibility is the second domain. Flexibility is generating different types of ideas or ideas from different perspectives. The third domain is originality. Originality is generating unusual ideas. The fourth and last domain is elaboration which is adding to ideas to improve on them.
The Feldman method of art criticism is how we as the audience look at the arts. The Feldman method includes four steps including: describe, analyze, interpret, and judge. The average time spent in front of artwork at a museum is three seconds and by using this method it allows the viewer to take time to really look at every piece of art. To describe one can ask themselves a series of questions. These include: Who is the artist?, What is the Medium?, How big is the work of art?, and What are the characteristics of the work of art?. To analyze means to use the elements and principals to further describe the work of art. The 7 elements of art include: line, shape, form, space, color, texture, and value. The 7 principals of design include: rhythm and movement, balance, proportion, variety, emphasis, harmony, and unity. Questions to ask yourself while you are analyzing include: How do the colors relate?, How do lines create tension, movement, or emphasis?, and What is the texture or emphasis?. The third step in the method is to interpret and this is your reaction to the art piece. Questions to ask yourself while interpreting would include: How does it make you feel?, Does it move you?, What does it mean?, or How do the images create a metaphor?. The last step in the method is to evaluate. The evaluation of the piece is the viewers’ judgment. Questions that you could ask yourself include: Do you like it? Why, why not?. This method could be used with every piece of art that you come across whether it be a painting, an art film, or a sculpture.
