I came across this postcard on the PostSecret site that reads: “If I can do it, I don’t consider it art.”
I realized that I kind of think that way, too. I figure if I record a song, it’s not art, it’s just something I threw together in the studio. If I take a nice looking photograph, I just got lucky. If I get a smiley face to appear in my oil and vinegar mixture, it’s happenstance. Do you hold that true for yourself, too?
Maybe we’re all just too hard on ourselves. I think the rule should be that if one other person can call it art, then art it is.
