    How can you, or anyone... possibly be the 'decider' of what is art? 

    I said before that to be an artist does not require an education, but
    to be able to understand the art, most definitely does. I would say
    that if there is a difference...you have it backwards. Only if one is
    an 'art genius'...out of whom it flows fitting the definitions
    developed over the ages of Principles and Objectives...would an
    'artist' not require an education. Is that your definition? What type
    of education are you suggesting is required for someone to be an
    observer.. of art. It seems to me that, as in jewelry, painting,
    drawing etc., if one is not aware of procedures ...an art education
    is necessary. An observer is capable of understanding any of the
    Master's or not-so-masters...through the perception they receive in
    the act of observing. 

    Just some thoughts elicited by your comments. I haven't seen any
    other of the 'threads' on the subject. Perhaps, I missed something...
