I would like to expand on what i said in the last post (if you wish to comment on that post, please continue to do so there).
I would like to state my reason for putting limits on what i consider "good" art, it is so that when i find a great piece of art and wish to express my appreciation of this piece, i am expressing it more powerfully than i had with anything before, and when i express those opinions, i do not contradict myself because i described a piece that was inferior to the current piece with the same amount of praise. it is for that reason that i put constraints on what i consider to be great art. I believe that a person who puts no constraints would find this art and wish to pay the same level of homage, and would find themselves unable to do so because they would lack the ability to justify as to why it was better.
That is my reason for my standards, but i would also like to talk about art that doesn't necessarily fit my standards (and I believe it to not be a contradiction of my standards) is experience art, i find that the idea of art as an effect of a moment of your life is great art (because it effects you in the way that the artist wishes) such as, my idea for an art project: it would go like this, a device which would have a large cylinder with several tubes jutting out the bottom, each with a spring-lock system that is sensitive to the weight of the water upon it. it would be filled halfway with water, then would have paint dumped in the rest of the way till the locks click open(this would be done in a gallery and not in the studio, so that each piece represents a moment of time in the persons own life) the water paint mix would then flow out onto the canvas, and after it dried, would be available for purchase by anyone who saw it's creation.
that is all

I disagree on your views of art. I believe that anything is art. If someone wanted it to be, they could make this blog comment art. My argument for that is really long so I'm not gonna get into it, but that's my belief.
Actually, Ryn [ionno if you know her] wrote a research paper on this subject last year, and she found some really good examples.
Like there's this woman who sweeps the front step of a museum every day and she calls it "service art".
So while not everything is necessarily "good" art, nothing is necessariloy "bad" art. Unless a person is trying to achieve something good and it looks like shit xP
But I gotta end this comment now! Haha!
oh no, i put very little limits on what can be considered art, if you want to say something is art, that is fine. again, i merely am putting limits on what i consider to be good art :D.
I still don't really believe in the terms good art or bad art. I just wish people wouldn't put it that way.
I believe in personal taste.
