What is art? When looking at art and analyzing what you see and registering what you think about the art whether based on your own or opinion or the opinion of others if it is "good" or "bad" ; but that all goes to what are peoples interpretation of what is good or bad.

I fully agree with what Mr. Jerry Saltz say about how people view and criticize art and how people should say what they honestly feel about something they see because in my personal opinion you shouldn't say anything or judge anyone's elses' art unless you sincere about it.  Jerry Saltz says " Art is a way of thinking, a way of knowing yourself." and I find that true because when you view a piece of artwork that you enjoy looking at you can lose yourself in it and then you can see it for what it really is about and what the artist wanted people who view their art to see what they created and the meaning it has.
What Jerry Saltz consider art is what other consider weird or "different" then how us "regulars" view art and in some cases of the masses consider good art is what i have seen on my travels to England and France and what i personally consider that to be classic art, but he says that art like what we are used to seeing in places like the Sistine Chappels  or at the Louve in France make other people view art as if it has to make sense or to be a picture of a person or a place, but in actuality you can make anything and call it art as long as the person who created it had put their all in the creation of it and feel that it is imperfect.

What i think of art is honestly what is see in museums and usually on walls which people refer to as "tagging" because that different people representing what they can do, but the only problem and mos people would agree with me on this is that i would not want my building to be tagged on or inside because depending on where you live it can bring down the value of a house or establishment and for the sake of art for one i dont think it would be worth it but it cant be stopped really because thousands of people do it young and old  and i dont think that will change i even if it becomes a law.

Art means something different to everyone for some people it it a way o get away from whatever troubles they maybe facing or a way to make money or even just to entertain and in most cases it is usually all three but depending on how someone views your art and your skill will only some make an actual profit from this.
