I believe that my piece above should be considered art because it is something that I crafted off of my original ideas and raises a question to challenge people’s thoughts. In Ellen Dissanayake’s article “What is Art For?” she says, “The species-centered view of art combines modernism’s proclamation that art is of supreme value and a source for heightened personal experience with postmodernism’s insistence that it belongs to everyone and is potentially all around us. It does this by thinking of artmaking and experiencing as a human behavior” (Dissanayake 8). This brings credibility to my art because it shows that art can be a lot of different things if it is able to be a source for personal experience from the artist or for others.
