What is Art?

(1/6) > >>

f3raligatr:
What constitutes art?

What makes good art? What ranks a drawing? Is it isolated to pen and paper..?

Liam:
Something that makes you happy, and other people sad (but they don't matter).

Is art emotion, then?

Can I, for instance, throw a can of paint at a wall and call it art because it represents frustration, anger, depression..?

OpallapO:
Art is whatever you want it to be.

Yeah, I guess so.

There will be critics, of course, but as long as you're happy representing your emotions in that way you can call it whatever you like. Art may be too subjective to define perfectly.
