What is Art

This page features the art work of the The Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo. I do not believe that Michelangelo created this blog post displaying his art. I think that this guy just wanted to post some examples of classics.
"There are images that pervade our society, shape it, change it, and make us ask that most basic of questions: what is art?

Now, you may not like all of these objects. It doesn’t matter. What is important is that they are important to society, to the history of communication and culture. It’s a good start."

This guy claims that The Sistene Chapels is one of the pillars of art in the world. A work of art is anything that makes society or people, changed or shaped. Well Michelangelo created this art mostly based on the bible. It is all over the vatican and is a temple to many worshipers of roman chalothic chruch. The guy who posted it is kinda lame because he chose to display something that almost everyone agrees is art. It would be much more interestiing to post something that is more challengeable to the question what is art. I do believe that this art piece is effectivly discussing art. It is art because it has stood the test of time. Art like this last because it is good. Bad shit nobody keeps around for very long
