Does an intention have to be involved for it to be art?
Or is art a state of perception; a statement of an aesthetic?
Is it the maker or the perceiver who decides if something is art?
If it is the perceiver, then couldn’t anything be considered art? Even a landscape? Or a dump?
If it is the maker, then couldn’t they, oh, draw a small mark on anything, and claim it is art?
