Why is balance between skill and sensitivity necessary in art?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Skill controls expression and sensitivity gives it meaning
The governing concept is the partnership between technique and feeling. Skill includes control of tools, materials, proportion, colour, line, timing, composition, or craft process; it enables an artist to realize an intention clearly and deliberately. Sensitivity includes awareness of experience, subject, emotion, context, and the effect on viewers; it gives the technical decisions purpose and human meaning. Option D is correct because it shows that neither side is sufficient alone. Skill without sensitivity can become mechanical or impressive but empty, while sensitivity without enough skill may remain difficult to communicate. A, B, and C each treat one part as absolute.
