As I understand it, Simon, There's nothing to ponder. As the creator of the piece, your son need only pronounce it to be art for it to be so. As a consequence of that pronouncement, he will become an artist. It's that simple!
As far as the "weeing in his nappy" part, well, that won't affect the status of the work that has been displayed. The soaked nappy, OTOH, will be art, if he considers it so. That's a quick distillation of what I've learned over the last couple of days (just teasing, Marnie et al) <vbg> BTW, wonderful shot, Simon. Now ~that's~ art!! <g> cheers, frank Simon King wrote: > Following the previous thread on this subject, I put the question to my 17 > month old son upon the completion of his latest masterpiece. > Here's him pondering the question. > http://wwwstaff.murdoch.edu.au/~sking/pages/art.htm > Maybe it would be art if he was weeing in his nappy... > Simon > > PS No comments on the photograph please, it's a family snapshot, not art. > :-) -- "What a senseless waste of human life" -The Customer in Monty Python's Cheese Shop sketch
