On her blog, Katie asked: Television is absolutely an art form from every standpoint but again it begs the question, can you ever define it as good or bad?
The terms good and bad imply that there is a standard upon which something can be judge. On an essay, for example, a teacher may give you a rubric to explain what he or she expects in regards to subject, length, grammar, etc. If your paper meets or exceeds the expectations listed on the rubric, it is considered good. If it does not, the paper is bad. So, in order to define television as good or bad art, we must first set expectations for what is good art. Until we find that definition of good art, we cannot tell bad from good. The definition must include qualitative standards for comparison. Before any decisions can be made, we need a "rubric" for art.
If you were making a rubric for art, of any type, what qualities would you include?
