I thought this was BRILLIANT! 😁 so original. Sounds like the participants really enjoyed it too! People often say "Yeah..but is it art?" I say a resounding YES.

My definition: Art is usually a visual work, which has no function other than to be appreciated for its aesthetic, or emotional response it evokes.
Hull works for me on both levels. Fantastic! What's its 'use'? None!
What's the 'use' of your Canaletto ? None. Hence they are both art.
Though I have to say, that particular artist, though displaying fine draughtsmanship, provokes little emotional response from me.

I have belonged to art forums in the past and we used to regularly debate,"What is,or isn't,art." Many believe that digital art is not "real" art. I think it is, because you need a lot of skill to create images using Photo Shop or Paint Shop Pro. Yes the software does a lot of work for you,but if you don't have a concept in the first place,all the software in the land won't produce a picture. I enjoy creating all forms of art.I don't particularly care if people call it art or schmart. What that artist created in Hull,IS art. I intensely dislike the élitist few who frown on all but "fine art". New technology in cameras means that more people than ever are taking photos. Photography is an art form,but simply having the best equipment will never make you a photographer. It is something in the eye of the photographer,painter,graphic designer or digital artist that makes them an artist.

As I said art is anything that pleases your eye.

"Now, what do you get if you screw up 30,000 sheets of paper - pile them into a mountainous heap, and put them on display in one of our most historic buildings. A new art installation at Truro Cathedral is splitting opinion in the city with some thinking the grand building has become a dumping ground, while others are moved by Imran Qureshi's 'After which I am no more I, and you are no more you' display." www.itv.com/news/westcountry/2016-07-12/truro-cathedral-gets-rubbish-makeover-thats-dividing-opinion/This is considered art

Those green pieces of paper in Truro Cathedral...it is art, but I don't like it. I might feel different if I was actually there...

Hi,I've removed a few images, as it was a bit embarrassing having them in the thread ,completely ignored. It's fine.I realise not everyone likes the same thing.
