What are you asking specifically? Art is crediting through influences and situations dealing with the time. For example Manet's Olympia (1878) was influenced by Titian, Venus of Urbino (1538).The painting deviates from the academic canon in its style, characterized by broad, quick brushstrokes. Also the reception the piece got the time it was first displayed. That is how art gets its crediting through out history and even contining today. I guess in a sense its more about the experience the piece gets, what the artist has to say about the piece, also the reception of critics and community around the select artist I'm guessing cause and effect? Please do elaborate, so i can give a much thoughtful and proficient response.

I think it is exactly like science, but instead of it being more an objective look on the certain situations, it deals with more subjective views, such as artist process and influences. It's more a personal view of crediting references rather than just stating facts. The artist has more choice and control of the references rather than leaving it to chance and writing down the data learned. Art, also has similarities in science dealing with process and techniques that you learn and that are more an objective view rather than feeling and expressing. For example understanding one point perspective or drawing what you see. Also I'm guessing there is creativity in science such as problem solving, similar to art, when problems occur you must figure out what is happening and why you're not getting what you planned for. How you can figure out what you need to get results to come to some type of understanding.02/07/20
