[QUOTE="Yesway Jose, post: 5646531, member: 6679265"] A long time ago, during an art class at school, the art teacher shocked all the students when she stated "You are not making Art". She then clarified by explaining that we were making (lower case 'a') art, but we were not making (capital-'A') Art. (for the logicians here who I...) *Her* (non-logical) description of Art was anything sold as commercial art, although it's not clear to me if her interpretation includes art sold outside the "Arts world", art created without the intent to be sold as Art but later sold as Art, art/Art like fantasy illustrations that are usually scoffed at in the "Arts world", and whether it is fair and logical to dissect my paraphrasing of her explanation in the 1st place as she surely wasn't trying to give us a logically defensible definition but to provide a sort of floating reference point. It's confusing enough that the "Arts world" cannot always decide what is Art, but if art is loosely and subjectively defined as something that's non-utilitarian and/or conveys some sort of feeling or whatever interpretation that people are using to subjectively define or describe art, then I'd feel more comfortable opinionating that D&D isn't Art but can be art.
