  • Everyone has their own definition of art, like Mando stated.

    Jackson Pollock randomly splashed colors on a canvas, and that was ''art'' and to many people, considered brilliant. However, a few people I know, including a former teacher, thinks that art is the kind of paintings you see involving beautiful countryside scenes. While that IS art; art entails many things.

    Basically, what it boils down to, is what you consider art. For everyone, it's different. But don't knock people who create things just because you don't like it.

    • Crap. Art is not in the eye of the beholder. Thats what losers say to justify their crap. I teach art and design but we don't teach OUR specific visions. We teach the craft, composition and proportions. There is certainly good and bad art, and thats not to say its just my opinion. Artists do art for other artists. I design for other designers because the mass opinion is uneducated and unsophisticated. Like a wedding photographer whose clients are brides and mother-in-laws that just want to see eyes open and a pretty dress. They don't care about composition because they're ignorant in visual matters. 99.9% of the population is ignorant in visual matters.

      I'd rather be a poor artist than a rich sell-out.
