I actually developed my own understanding of art after seeing a Pollock painting in person. Like the statue of David, the painting was huge, which surprised me.

I actually developed my own understanding of art after seeing a Pollock painting in person. Like the statue of David, the painting was huge, which surprised me. I then realized art isn't just about whether you could have done something, but would you have done it. Whenever I look at art now I ask myself both questions: Could I have painted like Rembrandt? No. Would I ever have thought to drip paint onto a massive canvas and call it art? No. Both are equally as a valid. This applies to music and books and movies, etc. Would I ever have thought of the plot to Reservoir Dogs? Never. Art, in my opinion, still has to evoke emotion, and be the result of a creative effort. So a music piece generated by a computer doesn't really count, but the code written to program it definitely does. Of course art is art and everyone has their opinion about it, this is just my way of looking at it.
