 * What IS Art?
 * I feel like their is no way to truthfully describe art because for every person its something different. One thing can look like absolute trash to one person and be a masterpiece to another.
 * How do we measure it's value? Good, bad, brilliant, crap?
 * I think that people jump on the bandwagon when it comes to art. If a small group of people or someone with a high status judge the art, the rest of our society tends to judge the same as well.When Kings and Queens are offended by some type of art, generally the majority of people are as well because they see that as the way to judge it.
 * Why is something that is viewed as 'radical' or 'inappropriate' at one point in time percieved as 'brilliant' and 'revolutionary' over the course of time?
 * We are always trying to rebel, no matter how god or bad a system is we manage to find a flaw and crave to rebel. By saying something provocative or inappropriate from the past is genius its a form of us continuing this rebellion and believing in things that previously wouldn't be acceptable.
