If ...Are "handmade" objects more special? If you work more or longer on something is it better? What ratio of form to content makes work acceptable? Hopefully these are questions you are thinking about and you'll come to your own educated decision. "Conceptual Art" split away to deal more directly with concepts/ not objects-hence the name. of course you can question their validity but wishing it other is like wishing painters would use only blue.

This was not my argument....i'm just pharaphrasing. An example that was givin was cake decorators....they have been elevated through tv to a rock star status and their work has been described as art. Do we really want to be compared to a cake decorator? (again, this was not my argument) I am just repeating parts of it to poke the big brown bear!Michelle L.
