I love art and so do all my friends. We love to express our feelings in our paintings, and we love to draw and create landscapes.

Virix How many people actually know something about art history? rofl I've been in an art slump for the past few months, but after midterms, I hope to open up a free arts thread here. What little I know about Art History is either from my parents common knowledge or self study, in other words I'm interested..I just really need to take a class and learn more...ha ha. The art thread sounds good. ^_^

You're such an art enthusiast Tesunie!
What do you think; people shouldn't be snobbish about art right?
I mean can Graffiti really be considered art when applied to that intent.
How about doodling, which is something I like to do from time to time, can it be artistic, beyond its simplicity?

Art is what you make of it.
I may not like some modern art, but it is still art. Even graffiti is art, though in its case, it is art in an unwanted area. Doodling is still art as well. Even writing is a form of art too, though it is a different form than picture type art.

What about the guy who displayed a toilet in his front yard? There was a huge debate about whether it was "art" and he could keep it for display, or if it was a simple eyesore and could be removed through legal action.
A quote that I love: "The act of painting is to bear down on your ideas; the painting itself is a by-product of the real process, it's just a record of what you've done. The work is the tool -- what you're actually doing is in your head." -- Phil Hale

The toilet thing, that was not made by himself, so it wasn't really art.
just an eyesore at that point. Also it was how he displayed his 'art'. If it was in a place that was private, or where it was wanted, then it would be fine.

*Someone* made that toilet; if a painting is anonymous, isn't it still art, no matter where it is displayed?
What about statues? What if I don't want to see a 15ft tall naked representation of justice outside a courthouse, or the statue of a war hero in the park (especially if it was an unpopular war)? Shouldn't they be taken down as well?
Art inspires emotion and provokes thought, and the toilet definitely got people fired up and thoughtful. If we're talking aesthetics: everyone's tastes are different. What one may find banal or even offensive, another may regard profound. WHAT IF THAT TOILET REPRESENTED THE SECRET TO LIFE?

True but, unless he altered the toilet or something else, it wasn't his art. Also, a toilet is prefabricated, made by machines now (usually). If it was handmade by him, maybe.
I think I am just getting confusing here. It isn't coming out as I want it too. sweatdrop
I blame my foot in mouth syndrome. mrgreen

I'm amazed how much secrets and mysticism influenced art, and the opposite is equally true. Many of the rich religious tapestries that people take for granted are actually symbolic, allegorical, and full of potent secrets, be they political, religious or mystical. In example...  From Wikipedia... "The most notable and famous of Holbein's symbols in the work, however, is the skewed skull which is placed in the bottom centre of the composition. [... ]One possibility is that this painting represents three levels: the heavens (as portrayed by the astrolabe and other objects on the upper shelf), the living world (as evidenced by books and a musical instrument on the lower shelf), and death (signified by the skull)."
