| description | In this study, professional art experts and nonexperts with an active interest in art rated sets of 10-20 slides of artworks made available by young artists. Each set was rated on bipolar scales, including not original--original; absence of craftsmanship--craftsmanship; and poor quality--good quality. Intraclass coefficients Rifor these three scales were .17, .21, and .22 for experts and .19, .08, and .16 for nonexperts, respectively. There was a significant agreement between experts and nonexperts with respect to originality, but no agreement with respect to craftsmanship and quality. The correlation between originality and quality was significantly (p < .01) higher for experts (r = .88) than for nonexperts (r = .40). Thus, experts seem to attach much more value to originality in determining aesthetic quality than nonexperts. |
