Well, "I don't know much about art, but I know what I like".
Does that mean if I like it, it qualifies as art, and visa versa? I don't think so because there are museums full of "art" I don't like. Yet, I see things every day that strike me as visually appealing because of color/form/composition that aren't classified as art. Does something become art because a group of "art experts" decided it met certain criteria? What the hell IS art??
