    Since when is it not okay to criticize art?

      I think it’s discouraging and unkind to artists to offer criticism that isn’t in some way constructive.

      I think criticism is great: when it’s constructive.

      That’s when you say what you’d like to make the art better. To issue constructive criticism, all you have to do is say WHAT you don’t like, so that the artist can learn and – assuming they want to make art you like better next time – incorporate that feedback. That’s what constructive criticism means.
