    entirely possible, if done on canvas and framed…

    this is considered ‘genius’ art:

    My brother and I used to joke about doing that at university when all the junk from the art students would go on display.

    Guard # 1, apparently, your kid never had an art lesson.

    AND DOESN’T NEED ONE!!

    The guy with the Science degree asks, “Why does it do that?”. The guy with the Engineering degree asks, “How does it do that?”. The guy with the Accounting degree asks, “How much does it cost when it does that?”. The guy with the “Arts” degree asks, “Do you want fries with that?”.

    Reminds me of the “My 4 year old can do this” bit that was on the news a while ago.

    This guy saw these paintings going for hundreds of thousands of dollars that looked just likethe splatters his 4 year old daughter was doing. He had her make a bunch that he then sold. People didn’t believe his kid did them, even when he showed the vidoetapes.

    I repeat myself, but, I don’t know much about art but I know what I like. Does that make me a Cretin?

    Also, instead of objective, I think you meant subjective. Objective is about realism. Subjective is about feelings and abstract is certainly not real.

    Remember that time when the paint can slipped from the top of the ladder and splattered the wall…. yup, that was probably $1million work of art. :-D

    I’ve seen monkeys and elephants produce better art than some of the stuff in the galleries. It sells for quite a bit too.

    I just read about a 3-year-old girl who had a show of her photographs at a restaurant. Of course, her parents are professional photographers, so they were the ones with all the connections to arrange it.
