You can call anything art, just as you can call anything music. The question is relevance and quality. Most of us have listened to plenty of music and have spent thousands of hours learning how to listen to and appreciate all kinds music. There is alot of music you have to learn to listen to in order to appreciate. I’m sure visual art is the same. Only we all don’t get the exposure to visual art like we do to music. So we have to trust the art critics and museums and gallery curators to present us laymen with the best and most relevant visual art. Because most of us are rubes when it comes to art we are subject to pretension from frauds and wanna-bees in the art world. Face it, the visual arts are a magnet for clueless no talent dreamers and pretentious dolts…..just like music. So yes the guy who displays a bag of garbage is an artist. Just like thousands of American Idol contestants are musicians.

In high school I was working nearly full time as a carpenter and taking college bound classes. My parents and grandparents said, ‘You’re smart you should go to college’. That’s all they had to offer. Their bottom line expectation was that I be hardworking. The children of the educated learn how to go to college at the dinner table. I have educated friends who are dragging their not so naturally scholarly kids kicking and screaming to higher education and a rewarding career. And I certainly don’t blame them. So is it class thinking or class expectation? I think kids, especially today, are given plenty of platitudes like ‘everyone has a talent’. What aren’t given out freely are personalized roadmaps to highest potential.
