My Buddy and My Chi-Chi

To me this is good art because my intention was to make the viewer feel warm and fuzzy inside and so far those I've shown it to have felt this way. Thus, I've achieved my goal. The smiles my niece and nephew have are bright and make you feel happy , the sections where they're sleeping are to make you feel content and say awww. I added the frame to make it pop out more.

A Photo I Think Represents America

I find this to be representational art it symbolizes how lower income people are paying more taxes and what not than the rich. This is just unfair. I found this on Facebook,  whoever created this must've been an intelligent person.

Good Art vs. Bad Art

Good art is a piece that when you look at it or even listen to it the way you would to music, makes you feel or think a certain way. Finding a relation between the piece and something in my life is also something I look for in good art. If the piece takes me down memory lane or makes me think of my present or future life, that too makes it good art. In good art, the colors should be bright and vivid, they should make me feel good inside.This piece called " Jeune fille endormie" by Pablo Picasso is an example of what I consider to be good art. The colors are sorted nicely throughout the painting, and they're nice and bright. She seems so content as she she naps. I look at this painting and I can look back to my high school dies where in certain boring classes I'd rest my head on my jacket and sleep oh so soundly.

Bad art is a piece that you just don't get. It throws you into a pit of confusion. It leaves you wondering "what in the world was the artist trying to say", "was the artist trying to say anything at all"? The piece may have one or more colors that just don't go with the flow of the shapes involved in it. There may not be enough color in that art piece, in fact, there may even be too much color that it causes a negative feeling inside. Bad art might also have too much going on at once which may make you think "what does that have to do with the rest of the piece"? For example Edvard Munch's painting of "Screaming Man" is something that I find not only a bit grotesque, but pointless as well. What could possibly make this artist think that this is something worth seeing? the face is just creepy, it looks like a dementor from Harry Potter.

In conclusion, I have a very detailed opinion of what good art and bad art is.
