Evaluating something as a whole, considering all its parts and how they work together. In the context of art and design, it means looking at an artwork or project in its entirety, taking into account various elements such as composition, technique, concept, and execution.
Imagine you're baking a cake. Evaluating holistically would mean considering not just the taste of the cake but also its appearance, texture, and overall presentation. It's about appreciating how all these aspects come together to create a delicious and visually appealing dessert.
Composition: The arrangement of visual elements within an artwork to create a harmonious and balanced whole.
Technique: The specific methods or skills used by an artist to create their artwork.
Concept: The underlying idea or message that an artist wants to convey through their work.
