Who is and is not an artist. Look at a toilet and put it in a bathroom and its been "designed" to do a job. But put a toilet in a gellery then it becomes "Art". My personals feelings that art is not so much to do with the name of the artest, but how there Art effects you and make you feel.

Some Art I hate, but I call it Art because it has effected me. Some Art I like because it takes me to another place.

Art is the deliberate action made by an artist which has a result. That can be a painting, sculpture or someone talking to a dead hare on their knee.

Art used to be a picture or something but now it seems it can be any old rubbish. I think the reason people try to justify an unmade bed etc. as art is because they are not skilled enough to draw a proper picture.

Imo, Art is ANYTHING that is pleasing to YOUR eye.

Whether that is because you want to explore it a little more, whether you like the colours, size, same, medium, texture etc.

Haha just turn up on the day and empty the rubbish bin onto the floor and claim that it's postmodern.

To me Art is work like Constable, Turner, Monet etc did. Where time and skill produces visual pleasing paintings or sculptures. Anything else is just home decoration or what I call sheep art (meaning, you have to like it because it's IN to like it, like fashion. Top designers tell you what sheep have to wear each year).

Art should take your breath away!

You should see some of the crap we have come across in our "Art Experience" as part of the Big Art project! I'm hoping they won't edit out my reaction to this tosh that passes for "modern art".

Thought I'd go somewhere quiet for a meditate. You are not really Scottish- you are American, cos you can't spell 'programme'.
Had a look round whist I was here and anyone knows the difference between a painting and a sculpture. A sculpture is something you knock over in a gallery when you are stepping back to admire a painting.
Can you make it to Kingston?

why do people put everything 'modern art' into one category and say how they hate all of it??
have you actually taken the time to look at it and it's meanings?
it may be new and very different
but give it a chance

revolution!! Smile

Don’t be daft… these artistic types would think a framed dog turd had a meaning if somebody put it in a context including phrases like ‘post-modern’ or something.

I think it probably is called art if you are called Julian and go to wine bars proudly displaying single coloured squares in down lit frameless picture frames. I mean if an old shed or a tent with scribble all over it can be called art then a mirror will walk it.

personally, i define art as something i would like to see in my house [or a photo of it]

interesting, and pleasing to the eye.

other things [graffi, tracey emins bed etc] can be considered art....but these examples are on the line as far as im concerned,

if we go along saying 'everything is art' thing will get ridiculous, scratching cars 'cause its art' is wrong....so its a fine line
