is it art?

In class we looked at a bunch of examples of different types of "art", food art, anime, outsider art, etc. I asked you to examine it and tell me if you thought it was art according to some criteria I gave you. Now I want you to look at something else and tell me if it is art. I found this website last year and just thought it was one of the coolest things I have seen, but is it art? I also found this today. Could it be art? Take a look and comment to let me know.

Go here to look at the first one. Go here to look at the second one.

I think the first one is art but the second isn't. The first one People worked hard on to make. But on the second it was just a lucky pattern to look like it was art.

I think that the first one was art, but the second one wasn't. The first one was fun, and had a meaning behind it. The second one wasn't fun, but had meaning behind it.

yes, almost everything is art because it describes what the person is feeling.....kinda like espressions which is very awesome. So I think it's art

dear Ms.smith
I think the first one was art because it was the form of a scolpture and the second one isnt because it looks like a scrude up T.V.

i dont think that the paintings weren't art cause they looked like pictures taken by a camera and the other ones looked like they were copied from one of those things in the hospital.

I do't think the first one is art because of the people and the food but I really do like it too. I think the 2nd one is art because someone really kind of work like the 1st one but it is actually on paper and I think that everyone just paints stuff on the computer and you don't even know what it is? So I think think that the 1st one isn't and the 2nd one is art!

I THINK THE FIRST ONE IS ART BECAUSE IT TAKES TALENT TO DO THAT

Yes, it can be art because art is defined by what you whant it to be. It can be little men mowing kiwis or Vermeres "A Lady Writting." No one person can diffine what art is or if something
is or is not art. An emo may think anime is art while a old snooty rich english man may think it's trashand Vermere is true art.

Yes it is art because anything that has been created is art. In my opinion.

i think art is something that a person shows their personality by painting something you like. from example a person could paint for fun, enjoyment. there art many things that art could be descibed by.

I think that they all are art , but my favorites were the anime bcuz i like scetches. I also liked the paitnings. I dont know if i would consider abstract paintings to be art because they look like they are easily done.

I think they both could be art. I like the site you found last year better than the other one. It had interesting pictures of food. I love the one that had the little people chopping the chocolate mound.

yes that is art. i think it is photography, but it could be a realy realistic water color. the other is probably just science it dosen't realy have a point at all. i don't like the scond one at all

Ms. Smith,
I think this could be art. the reason i think that this is artt because it is fun to look at. It probably also took the artist a lot of time to think about this idea. Another reason is that it is funny , and cool!!

Dear Miss.Smith,
the firstt onee was kinda strange but i could SEE what the picture was basing off of like a mountain and stuff so i guess it was kinda like a lil piece of artt it was differnt from anything ive ever saw. The sencond link was really differnt i didnt really know what it was suppose to be i dont think it was a piece of art but, i bet alot of people might think it is people have differnt opinoonns so you might think it is a piece of art or not..? What do you Think?

The first pictures are art because in them pictures they use things that you eat or things that you take the food out of. That why I think it's art.
