The speaker’s assertion that it is the artist, not the critic, who gives society something of lasting value is on the correct philosophical side of this issue. After all, only artists are true catalysts of artistic progress in terms of their masterpieces on painting, immortal epics and influential movies while critic’s subordinate role can only serve to be the footnote of art-history textbooks.  

Admittedly, criticism is science—a branch of knowledge that uses specific methods and tools to compare, evaluate, and recommend something to pubic.
Considering the complexity of art and public’s lack of necessary knowledge, the function of critics which can be described as both a guider and a filter, is becoming increasingly important. On one hand, they help us understand and interpret art, a critic who is familiar with a particular form of art might have certain sight of those works that the layperson would not .On the other hand, their can distinguish excellent ones from a vast see of works, which can greatly reduce our time in seeking of worthwhile works.

However, reflecting on the two main roles critic plays in spreading arts makes clear that the art critic actually offers very litter to society. Their labels as guiders rightly reflect some deficiencies in our education which places too much emphasis on practicality while ignoring exploring students’ aesthetic sense. For that case, a qualified teacher or a meaningful class on art will be more sound and effective than such critics without systematic plans on teaching. Furthermore, appreciating an art work is a communication to a informed man who can shows you the inherent nature of art, a journey through which you gain a sense of satisfaction ,and also a weekend prey which can arise the deepest feelings in the bottom of your heart. These shocks on art vary from one person to another according their different experiences and emotions. For that matter, an obscure advice from critic ,who mainly focuses on the feeling of the public not that of an individual, would be helpless, even of no value now matter how vividly and completely they portrays.

Another function of critic as a filter is also troubling when it comes to the ultimate goal of arts. After all, art is a form through which artists use their cognitive abilities to express their feelings and emotions to cause public’s resonance. Now that every person has his own joys and sorrows, hopes and disappointments, everyone is willing to find an access to share his concerns for society, desires for beauty, and arts actually provide us—every social being a chance to do so. Yet, critic’s focuses are only limited in narrow fields with according to their eternal regulations and criterions on evaluating regardless of one external principle on arts---the principle calls artist pay more attention to viewer’s inner feelings with any forms of artistic care and aesthetic consideration. Take a look at some great works in different art fields: when we indulging the secret smile from Mona Lisa, is there not a glorious beauty that shining from another world; when we listening to the lecture from Martin Luther king, is there not a strong desire to fight for a scene of talking brotherhood at table; when we moved by the heroic activity of Scbindler under the control of Nazi, is there not a empathy to the crude war? All three works are different in both form of art and expressing method by their producers. Such difference may cause controversial arguments among critics, just as Voltaire’s rejection of Shakespeare as barbaric and the dismissal of Beethoven’s music at his times. Yet, such rejections can’t prevent the popularity of Shakespeare’s dramas and Beethoven’s music which are all resonate the overwhelming majority of public.
   
In sum, the speaker’s assertion is sound considering the subordinate role of critic in art creation. What’s more, artists should observe the society from their own eyes and cling to the principle they set for their own, only in this way, art can be called real art. As to critics, their function is right in some particular aspects of art, however at a more wider level, their function is quite limited, let alone of lasting values.

The speaker’s assertion that it is the artist, not the critic,who gives society something of lasting value is on the correct philosophicalside of this issue.
