What risk can excessive dominance of technique create in art?

Depth of feeling and idea may be left behind

Technique includes the skills and methods used to make an artwork, such as drawing, painting, shaping, composition, or handling materials. These skills are important because they help an artist express an intention clearly. However, technique alone cannot guarantee meaningful art. If technical perfection becomes the only goal, the work may look polished while lacking emotion, thought, personal meaning, or connection with its audience.

Option A is correct because it identifies the danger of allowing technique to overpower feeling and ideas. The other choices wrongly assume that technical control automatically makes art humane, improves every viewer’s understanding, or clarifies context. Strong art usually brings skill together with sensitivity, imagination, purpose, and awareness of the subject. Technique should serve expression, not replace it.
