Man vs. Art Episode 46! 7 Myths About Artists that have to go!

Summary: Today I want to rip apart and put to rest 7 awful myths and misconceptions about of art! These Myths are totally wrong and mess up the integrity and purpose of art. 1. Art means whatever people want it to mean. No way Jose! A professional artist, always has intention, and it’s his job to communicate that intent through mastering their craft and applying their skill in the form of hard work. 2. Art is all a matter of opinion and is subjective. Hello! Every kind of response to art is an opinion, so that’s not news. What the myth implies is that all opinions are equally valid. That is FALSE! Some opinions are better than others. Opinions that are based on better reasoning are much stronger than opinions based on bad or zero reasoning! Not all art is subjective. Some art is objectively good, and some art is objectively bad. The correct assessment depends on the evaluation of the criteria, not on the viewer's whims or tastes.
