Especially with some of the pretentious douchebags out there who make self-serving 'art'.<br /><br />I've struggled with what makes something 'art' for years, I just gave up and avoid the word at this point.harpoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553154466797990028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416569471509328536.post-82573205421873735892009-09-29T20:49:09.594-07:002009-09-29T20:49:09.594-07:00Jas - Yeah, I was surprised by that too.

I was entertained. <br /><br />Harp - I don't see raising a child as an art-form, though I know many call it such. The word "art" is bandied about a little to loosely for my liking, ascribed to too many things. But I agree completely that art cannot exist without criticism--and a few other parameters. The question is (for me), what does it mean for something to be "art"? What is it supposed to conjure in the recipient or viewer?Harry Tournemillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364647829612042665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416569471509328536.post-51449263809318136872009-09-29T20:05:50.680-07:002009-09-29T20:05:50.680-07:00Personally, I struggle with the very definition of...Personally, I struggle with the very definition of the word 'art'. Raising a child is an art; so is making sone get scared watching a movie, I figure. Art is all around us but maybe art is really defined as something that someone created. <br /><br />And of course, there's no art without criticism.harpoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553154466797990028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416569471509328536.post-53037717874319768742009-09-29T19:24:40.035-07:002009-09-29T19:24:40.035-07:00Wow.
