About This Quote
Appraising is a word that describes carefully and with great thought. It is the process of looking through something very closely and picking out its most important features. Appraisal is a more formal term than eye fooking, which means looking through something casually for no real purpose. There are three types of appraisal: critical, aesthetic and intellectual.
Critical appraisal is concerned with the assessment of an object or person’s worth or quality, and includes trying to understand what makes something good and bad and whether the object really has value. Aesthetic appraisal involves analyzing an object’s form, color, texture and material; it often involves connoisseurship – the appreciation of art or craft or beauty – but not necessarily. Intellectual appraisal is the highest form of appraisal, in which the object in question is analyzed in terms of its worth to society or humanity as a whole.
