When you say that almost "anything" creative can be art, tis true I think, and I am certain Andy Warhol fans would rejoice, LOL. However, I still also believe there are scales or intensities of art or creativity. Can one compare a Leonardo Da Vinci painting to an Andy Warhol mock up and even dare suggest Andy's wall full of coke bottles is as good or better than a Mona Lisa, to ME one just nullifies the other although I do agree that they are BOTH art, it is just what I may see as more creative as another may be different from what someone else may percieve. The Govt. once paid three million or more for a mural of three straight colored lines going sideways to hang in our proud City Hall, probably because someone had no taste or they needed to minimize their budget or this artist was someone real special. I may sound pretty ignorant saying that and even biased, but I am not trying to be, I just think there are intensities to creativity and not all of them are the same in all of us as artists and least of all in those that are artists' customers or viewing public. Art is like music in many ways, someone's dirt is someone elses pleasantry. But at least music does somewhat work hand in hand?? Or does it??? Opera and Rock? Country and Western and Pop?? Hehehe....they do learn from each other though, artistic mediums can too. CG art and photography are very similar in many ways and really can compliment each other in so many variations ;-)
