How do you determine what is art?
A person who has spent time and effort sketching out a "Lost Dog Poster" could or could not be considered art. If they expressed their soul then would it not be considered art?
Or maybe its a man/woman who paints the double lines on a road. He makes them as perfect as possible. Lives to make this line so perfect. Well would that be art?
Discuss!!

art (just as anything else) is precisely that which is not the opposite of itself nor lets anyone think so... and this pretty much ends the debate :P

Seems like an easy question to me...
Dog Poster = Art
Reason: artist is free to do whatever he/she desires. It might not even be a very functional dog poster, but it will be a free expression of the person who created it.Line Painting = (likely) Not Art
Reason: the lines have rigid restrictions... You're free to craft them perfectly, but have restrictions on how/wherre they're placed. (Not to say that someone who paints those lines can't be an artist, though)

Dr Jay has a great answer

So basically designers are whores when the client controls them to much. Not artists!
LOL
