When criticizing an artist's technical skills, the critic should consider B. the style of the artwork.

Understanding the style can provide context for the technical choices made by the artist and how well they execute the techniques relevant to that style. While personal opinion, creativity, and beauty are important aspects of art critique, they pertain more to subjective interpretation rather than the objective evaluation of technical skills.
