    Gotta love pre-semester assignments

    gregbrown:

    Got an e-mail from one of my teachers that I gotta come up with a good definition for art. We’re going to spend an entire semester debating just that (since the class is called “Aesthetics”), and he wants us to come up with one all by ourselves during break? Sigh.

    So tempted to just quote Sybil Buck’s definition that “art is when you do something and other people talk about it” and leave it at that.

    Warhol: art is what you can get away with. An artist is a person who produces things that people don’t need to have but that he— for some reason— thinks it would be a good idea to give them.
