"Art" describes such a diverse
range of human activity and products that objectivity is certainly needed for effective
evaluation of it. However, I agree with previous posters who mentioned that there should still
be some established guidelines or standards for determining why a piece of art is truly art, and
what makes it a great piece of work in historical and modern day context. Far too often these
days everything that is created is categorized as "art" with no standards as to why it
should be called art.
