So you think you're some cultured high concept art afficionado? Me neither. But check out this site and see how many items you can guess correctly as art, or just other crap. I'll tell you I didn't do so well, so it ain't that easy

I actually liked some of those.

I got six wrong.

Of course, no answer was really wrong....

9/16! Still, I can't even get a stick-man right. My drawing / painting / sculpting ability is practically nill!

Good quiz though

as an award winning artist i went there to see what it was all about.

yes i did not make that up i am an artist. and have won awards for it.

so when i got there i seen right away that the producer of that quiz is not able to see art for art ,

and they are the grap on the quiz.

every image on that site is art.

including the termite tent.

some just might not like the style of art but it is still art. like me i cant stand what is called modern art but it is still art.

even a pile of crap can be photographed as art and most would not know what it was.

i happen to like highly detailed art like rembrant or di vince.

i have only one trouble with that page.

THE PRODUCERS ATTITUDE.

am going to stop because i am getting really p o'ed on it .

I understand what you are saying cowboy, and in fact agree with it. Anything and everything can be art, even if some don't understand it's meaning. But I think this here is simply all in fun: trying to distinguish the intentional works of art from the unintentional ones. Perahsp the and example of the age old saying that art imitates life, or life imitates art

Perhaps the title of the quiz wasn't the best one, but it resonates with a certain audience.

thanks for seeing that it is not done in a proper fashion.

and for seeing that i was so po'ed i could not find the proper words to explain it other then what i used.

but i see your right the title might just be a badly choosen one.

but it did get a reaction from me.

i must also add in the fact that i did hear my college art instructor call me a premidonna ( cant spell big words ) to his higher instructor ( his boss of the art department.) so that might be just a bit of it showing up in that preveas statement of mine.

sorry.

It's ok. We all have our peaves and our bad days, and whatnot. Honestly, ignorance such as that is one of my pet peaves as well, but you just gotta let it go, which is usually easier said than done
