As I read this, I keep waiting for her to give me HER defintion of "art." Every defintion I find defines art as mediums or channels through which information (i.e. emotions) are conveyed. So doesn't that then mean that "good" art is going to be anything that conveys the artist's message well? Saying "good" versus "bad" makes it seem like she doesnt like the colors on a canvas...
