I have looked at a few more images and I began to think that art is also something that makes you notice things in life that we may normally not really notice or react to. Going back to the starving dog we live in a world in which dogs cats and even humans starve yet we just let the idea pass by us without really doing much about it but when we see the dog we have a reaction because we look at the simplest idea strait in the face. The idea of the paperclip is the same it is something that was made to make our lives easier. We use it and other things so much we don’t see them as being something that we appreciate.

After looking a some of the things that you had posted and talked about I decided that all of what you posted was still art. The idea of a four year old doing modern art as something that shouldn't be considered as art is in my opinion is wrong because the painting is being liked by so many and disliked by so many people. Different people who look see different things in the peices and if they didnt know it was created by a four year old they would have the feelings they had to begin with. i belive that it dosent mater what the age of the artist is just the wok that they do. some dont ike that fact and see the paiting to not be concidered art.
One post that I had to think about at first before I had my idea of what art was the exibit of the starving dog. I hated the idea because I love animals and to know that there is a starving dog that people walk by and look on purpose annoyes me. Then I decided it is art because it did have an effect on me though it wasn't a happy one. I decided that art shouldn't have to make you feel happy it can mae you feel upset aswell. I was abe to come up with my definition with this idea.

The Paperclip

I believe that art is something that makes a viewer feel something such as happiness, sadness or indifference. These feelings don't need to be created by the artist intention. some art By setting this as a definition for art everything can be called art because everything gives of an emotion. So this paperclip is art. I know for myself that I like the way that the paperclip is is made of metal and can bend. I can bend it and shape it into another shape. another person can look at the paperclip and see either some sense of peace from its simplicity or from another an may feel annoyed for having to work with this all day in the office.
