Duncan, in his blog post, asked whether or not a work of art created by a small child and an abstract drawing created by a symbolic artist were both art. In my opinion, I would have to say yes. In my opinion (and my own theory of art which you will hear about more in depth later), art is the containment of thought within a creative confines. The child, wishing to put the idea of his family and home onto a creative medium, created that drawing, thus making it art. The abstract artist, wished to put onto a medium the concept of loneliness and depression. Therefore, based on my theory, it is art.
Would an object be a piece of art if the thought behind the piece was imperceivable?
