This document discusses the values of art and how to determine if an artwork is great. It identifies eight qualities that distinguish great works of art: 1) aesthetic value, 2) intellectual value, 3) suggestiveness, 4) spiritual value, 5) permanence, 6) universality, 7) style, and 8) form. Examples are given for each value, such as Juan Luna's Spoliarium for suggestiveness. The document encourages analyzing pictures based on these values and reflecting on how art can be valuable in one's own life.
