what is art and who decides?



The audience decides.

No matter what object is presented, it is up to the audience to define and categorize it. Art is whatever its viewer decides to call it. After this course, I have changed half of my answer to this question. At first, I had said that art was expression and that the audience determines that it is art. After everything we’ve talked about, I no longer believe that art always has to be an expression of some kind. "That s not what I meant at all" T.S. Elliot.
