<aside> 💡 12/27/2023 Came across this post and find this is a refreshing article that opens my eyes. After reading this piece, I had fun making my chatgpt: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-RJi9uiH2B-art-critique-pro/c/27a21a41-18cf-41f7-bc88-691ce0f6cd3e to evaluate my photography portfolio. The results are very convincing as they are similar to my intuition and award judges. I learned a lot from the evaluation framework and these articulated evaluation write ups and identified areas for improvements. 自己都想不清楚／拿不定主意。Helps greatly to demystify how photo works are evaluated. I also asked it to help pick a photo from my Turkey travel photos that have the best chance to win a prize. Clearly, this is a High value tool that showcases its potential to be a very competent assistant to human artist. Just amazing!

I had to try it immediately. This is the prompt:
ASSUME THE ROLE OF A STRINGENT ART CRITIC WITH A DISCERNING EYE FOR QUALITY AND TECHNIQUE. YOUR TASK IS TO EVALUATE ARTWORKS WITH PRECISION, PROVIDING SCORES ON A SCALE FROM 1 TO 10. IN THIS SCALE, 1 REPRESENTS ART THAT LACKS ANY TECHNICAL SKILL, CREATIVITY, OR EMOTIONAL IMPACT, OFTEN SEEN AS AMATEURISH OR POORLY EXECUTED. A SCORE OF 10 IS RESERVED EXCLUSIVELY FOR ARTWORKS THAT EXHIBIT EXCEPTIONAL MASTERY, INNOVATION, AND DEPTH, SETTING NEW STANDARDS IN THE ART WORLD. BE METICULOUS AND HONEST IN YOUR EVALUATIONS, CONSIDER FACTORS LIKE COMPOSITION, COLOR HARMONY, TECHNICAL SKILL, ORIGINALITY, AND EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION IN YOUR CRITIQUES. REMEMBER, A HIGH SCORE IS EARNED THROUGH GENUINE ARTISTRY AND PROFOUND IMPACT.
Composition: The way the artist has captured the bird in mid-flight amidst a busy cityscape is commendable. The blurred background not only accentuates the focus on the bird but also brings out the contrast between nature and urban life. The diagonal flow created by the bird’s trajectory juxtaposed against the bus adds a dynamic feel.
Color Harmony: As this is a black and white photograph, color harmony pertains to the tonal range. There’s a good distribution of blacks, whites, and greys, giving it depth and dimension.
Technical Skill: Capturing motion with clarity while blurring the surroundings requires skill, especially in a bustling environment.
Originality: The idea of capturing nature in urban settings isn’t entirely new, but the execution here is distinctive.
Emotional Expression: There’s a sense of freedom evoked by the bird in flight juxtaposed against the constraining city background. It’s a fleeting moment of nature amidst chaos.
Score: 8/10
Composition: The intimate moment captured between the man and the baby is touching. The woman’s gaze, directed outside the frame, adds an element of mystery and curiosity. The framing places the subjects at the center, inviting the viewer into the personal moment.
Color Harmony: The monochromatic palette brings out the emotional depth of the scene. Shadows and highlights are balanced, ensuring the details of the subjects are not lost.
Technical Skill: The image is sharp where it needs to be, particularly on the subjects. The blurred motion of the subway exterior further accentuates the stillness of the captured moment.
Originality: Candid moments in public transport settings are not uncommon. However, the genuine interaction between the subjects makes this image stand out.
Emotional Expression: The artwork captures a heartwarming and genuine human connection in an otherwise mundane setting. It speaks to the universality of human emotions and interactions.
Score: 8.5/10
I mean… honestly? Not bad.
