Because I'm interested in Allan's thoughts on the matter.

[Allan Schumacher]

Art is.... the.... expressed, outward manifestation of a human's creativity?

 

 

This isn't an easy question...

Hahaha

[Allan Schumacher]

Is that a more well rounded and explained answer of what I said?

 

I guess creative expression can still be done for practical/functional reasons as well.

 

 

I haven't read that book unfortunately, but I understand the explanation and it does seem reasonable.  Would it be appropriate then if any creation is made with the aesthetics considered fits Scott's definition?

[Allan Schumacher]

Probably.  I think many people have far too narrow definition of the term, mostly because I think the appreciation of art is in some way seen as sophisticated and desirable, so people will have a proclivity for things they like and understand to be artistic, while the less interesting and less understood is not seen as artistic.

 

 

So yeah, I'd say it does.  Similar to how I don't think different types of gamers have ownership over the term "gamer" that the term "art" is pretty open ended.  I am probably inclined to pick something in alignment with Scott's.  I'm not even that against "done for profit" like some people are.  But I'm biased there.
