So in art class we were looking at different things and determining if they were art. At one point the teacher showed us some picture of a flipped over urinal and I claimed that it didn't count as art cause the urinal was made for practical reasons. Yet she claimed that it was because of how the "artist" chose to portray it like a pice of art. So I started thinking about what really counts as art which only made me really confused. Can anything be art if considered to be? Does it depend of the perspective of the viewer? Do I sound stupid asking this question?
a general rule of thumb is, never consider anything art unless you want to
