I believe technically it might be Folk Art geek

...or at least categorized as such.

depends on how you view it (and the creator's intent)

to someone it probably is..

Well clearly they bit the real artist's subject. It's Vincent's work, not theirs. I hate biters.

if it has a function, it's not art. By that definition alone, it's art neutral

I've just parcelled up 4 dozen bottlecaps to send to BlackAdder.

It's great to know they have a home to go to now!

noooooooooooooooooooooo...i found it on "thechive.com" there's a whole collection of "art" made with bottle caps. I'm just not sure if it's art. it's very creative.

I did however receive bottle caps from australia, for some reason.

A lot of Mexican/Chicano folk art uses bottle caps too.

Yes it's art but it's not completely original art.

Of course it's art. Maybe not original or something you like, but it's still art!

Is paint-by-number considered art? My grandma has a paint-by-number Last Supper on her kitchen wall that was done by my mother. That don't make my mom Leonardo.

I put this in the same category. shrug

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.
