im a little late, and i kinda skimmed through the replies, but I personally think art is in the motives--i mean, if someone glues a bunch of scrap metal together, for the soul purpose of wanting to create, and for others to see their creation than i think it is art,not neccesarily the art i would prefer, but if they glue a bunch of metal together, then decide, hey this looks cool--i think 'll call it art, i dont think it is truly art. And i dont think it matters what mediums you use, or which you give main credit to--i mean really, why does it matter? but, i could be wrong. doug, your defintley an artist in my book, so dont let anyone get you down because they doubt your ability.
