In class, we came to the conclusion that what defined an artwork was something intended. What qualified the blank canvas as "art" was that it delivered a certain message, a message strong enough to influence a trend of art.
Today in class I was doodling. My hand was just free flowing, and my mind was blank. I ended up drawing a picture of a toaster with a mustache. I didn't have any clue as to where it came from, and I was only half focused on it during the whole creative process.
My question is this:
When you're subconcious creates (mindless doodling, etc) is this art? The obvious answer would be yes, but think about it. Is doodling really "art" by the definition we concluded? Is it just boredom? And is boredom something that adds intention to our doodles?
