James' Statement

Art can not be bad any more than it can be wrong on right. I’ve always cringed when I hear someone say “that’s bad art” or “that’s good art” because the idea of an art piece is not in its ability to be judged by a single person but if by nothing else its popularity. There is such a thing as popular art but being popular does not warrant the label of good, bad or ugly. To some a piece can be pleasing and draw out emotions that would otherwise lay dormant, but never is any art subject to critics. Take for example movie critics and ask yourself do you always agree with them? The beauty of art is that it is a vehicle of expression of the artist who creates it; and in that some can find that emotions within themselves by experiencing it. Bad art? no way just art.
