"As long as the "artist" feels their work is a thing of beauty, then dang it, it's art!" EXACTLY the reason why I had my two Oc's return!

"If everything is art, then art is pretty boring."
Wow. I couldn't disagree more. I'd take everyday beauty over some artsy-fartsy piece of nonsense in a museum. Art CAN be found anywhere. Thinking that way makes life a lot more fun.

If everyday beauty is art, then art is just everyday. Boring. When every single thing that you enjoy is covered over such the huge umbrella term of 'art,' then art no longer has any significance. It's sort of like saying 'everyone is special,' which is the same as saying nobody is.

I think everyday life is everyday. There are things in my everyday life which aren't boring. But something that happens every day...yeah, not particularly special. What's special is defined by its rarity.
So that's my opinion.

oh... that makes sense. For me, I don't give a crap about "special"-ness, so that's probably it. I will not deny that the everyday is not special; it isn't. But I like it all the same.
Anyway, that's it.
