I don't mean to sound like an douche, but because something does not require any real skill does not disqualify it from being art.

Why would that sound like a douche thing to say? It sounds wrong though, art requires a lot of things. Skill, labour, perception, the ability to protray a message or emotion etc. That requires time and dedication. Endless hours in front of a desk honing your skills and presentations. Alternatively everything is art, from the labour of a worker to a chef or whatever.

Bob Ross

I had an art teacher who laughed when a student mentioned Bob Ross as a skilled artist. I can understand why too. 5 minutes of sketching and redoing similar environments over and over again for tv does not make it art. I just find them lacking.

Holy ****, no wonder people punch you in the face. What's the ****ing point of being a massive prick like this?

Yet, Bob Ross is ten times more talented than me, so thanks, I guess.

I didn't mean that he is the best artist, he stole B.Alexander's style, as a matter of fact. But, as it happens, I just made a joke about his looks and habits.

You don't have to see arguements everywhere.

Ooh! An ART of WAR going on!

Alright you lot, put your paintbrushes away and stand down.

This isn't the place to debate what is and is not art. If you have doubts about whether something belongs here, ask a moderator and we'll give you a definitive answer.

Now, this might not be a "carebear" forum, but it's a tolerant forum. You're all entitled to have opinions; you are not entitled to be dicks about having opinions, nor are you entitled to insult people just because their interpretation of "art" differs from your own.

To sum up: Post art. Don't be dicks. Have fun.

I would say everything could be art, but just in different forms. I guess it depends on the type of art. A high level chef, with michelin stars and such, could easily be labelled an artist and some courses could easily be labelled works of art, especially from a composition point of view.

The things you mentioned that art requires. Is that required from the artist or from the work?

And does the ability to portray a message or emotion come from the artist, the work, or the viewer? Is it a work of art if the intended message is different from the evoked message in the viewer?

Sometimes I make smiley faces on my plate out of my fried eggs and mushrooms. I am like the Van Gogh of food art.

Oh, Llandy, you magnificent woman, is there anything you cannot do?

Pharaoh Llandy · Sep 21, 2014

I can't play the guitar and I'm not so good at peeing standing up. But those aren't really art-related and don't have a place in this thread.

Dude, what you did to your omlette/pancake/tortilla/thing... that is just wrong.

Also, it looks like somebody's been eating your desk. Are you really that hungry?

Tancred_de_Houdan · Sep 21, 2014

I is artiste! I always no money and a no food!

Cruor_Volt · Sep 21, 2014

New uni year began, had to start the first lesson by ruining a perfectly usable page of paper.

Jock · Sep 23, 2014

Wouldn't call that ruined.

Kentucky 『 ＨＥＩＧＵＩ 』 James · Sep 23, 2014

You're not doing it right unless every single scrap of paper is covered in random drawings.
