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.
