What is Art?

I'd like to start a discussion about what everybody's opinion is on what makes something art. Please comment or make a video response. I'm very interested in everybody's opinions.

I think many of your questions would be answered if you found a good art school and took some classes.

@jdbohdan I've been taking art history classes in university for 3 years now, and these questions have never really become clearer. All I've learned as that these questions are pretty much unanswerable.

[loser078]

@loser078 Well, clearly I was exaggerating to some degree, but my point was that anything COULD be art. That's not to say that everything IS art, but anything COULD be art, if it's presented in a certain way. Plus, there's a distinction between "the arts" and fine art.

[fellowtuber123]

Art is any creation, that has a creator, and that has the intention to be art. I can't pick up a pencil and say that just because this was made in a factory or by people that it's art. Why? Because the pencil isn't used or is intended to be art. It's intended to be used by someone to WRITE.

In my opinion you wasted our time and yours by grabbing random household items and saying, "It THIS art?" I think we established that you're considering through questioning, that anything could be art.

@fellowtuber123 maybe for you it was a waste of time. maybe for others it was entertainment. this wasn't meant to be a terribly academic video. I just wanted people to think about the ambiguousness of art.

You're the kind of guy who really gets on my nerves.

Because we can't simply define it, doesn't mean anything can be art. Art has standards, art isn't about just naming something art.

Simply put, art is probablly what you'll never fully grasp

[loser078]

You realize I was just asking questions, right? I wasn't saying anything can be art. I was just asking if anything can be art.

i agree that it's probably something I'll never fully be able to grasp, but not because I don't understand, but because it's very difficult to define and therefore it can be art to some and not at all to others. I was making a statement more about how even the most usual or mundane things can become art, depending on things far beyond their initial impression.

One thing that amazes me is how somebody can piss in a milk bottle and put it in a gallery and thats "art"

but graffiti isn't art because its a crime

doesn't make sense

[jdbohdan]

@loser078 You may want to find a new university or new teacher. Some of the things you question as art are ridiculous. I understand the lighthearted open approach to questioning, but I'm being sincere. The word itself, "Art," is thrown around a lot and mis-used. In defining terms you understand what it isn't as much as what it is.

@fellowtuber123 So if I take a big poo with the intention of it being art than its art? Awesome. I make art every day!

[Joechan2009]

to be honest, your vids are superficial and boring. Who is your target audience? 5-yr-old kids?

why don't u just make some points and try to contribute, instead of asking stupid questions. it's not entertaining either.

[KevJJ888]

Should have started the video at :45

life is art

[fellowtuber123]

@loser078 That's okay, man. :) Just my opinion. No hard feelings.
