So now what is art and who decides ultimately.
In this course we have been discussing the biggest of the big questions of what is art and who decides. We have looked at tons of players and tons of narratives and thought about this question pertaining to them all. What I have found as a definition for myself based on all of this is that art is different for everybody. Something that you think is art can be art to you but not everybody necessarily needs to think that it is art as well. There are all different types of a lens that you can look at art through and that is how you figure out who decides. Some people may like one type of art and not another type. It all depends on their particular viewpoint. What I think is that art is extremely personal. No two people have the same opinion on what is or is not art. Ultimately in my opinion it is the artist who decides if what they themselves make is art or not. It is all about the way you look at art and what school of thought you subscribe to.
