What is art and who decides?

Art is expression. The audience decides.

No matter what artifact is created, it is a form of expression. It doesn’t have to be a masterpiece, it can be really crappy, or even intentionally crappy, but because the audience decides what art is, many messages and/or themes can be derived from any one artifact. The wide range of audience interpretation and analysis is what creates the discussion our class is founded on.
