What makes anything art?
It's only the sincere expression and intent of the maker that can classify
something as art. If you have to stop and ask --is this art?-- then maybe it
isn't, or maybe you just need a more expansive view.

I got really tired of art after my brother passed away. I looked around and
saw alot of work that wasn't saying anything. Pieces were either trying to
shock or awe me with insincere ideas or images. But i did see some art that
struck a chord with me, it was unpolluted and unpretentious. Photography,
painting, sculpture, whatever. It's not the medium, it's how you use it.

But that's just my opinion.
