But so much of art is subjective. There are some things you can look at and point out where the artists is clearly skilled, however you can't enjoy it because well, you don't like it.
I can appreciate some art; there is some I cannot appreciate. Sport is competition, two or more groups doing what they need to accomplish a task and win. There are times during a game, where what happens sometimes looks like a work of art. Music is both art and entertainment. The placement of notes, and the sounds create art, show and spectacle are entertaining. > -----Original Message----- > From: Gruss Gott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 9:15 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Ha, the media is bias > > An interesting conversation is where the line is drawn between > "valued" art and poop piles.
