Omg! Art is way different so is music and all art forms are ! This is in no way art! If you think it is then your crazy!

I think you must have misunderstood what I said due to not knowing who I was replying to. I didn't make any judgments on what I consider to be art. I was asking another user questions in order to get an idea of what he considered art.

I'm replying to this comment of yours because the comment you made to my post is nested too deeply in the replies and there is a limit so there is no direct reply button.

If you assumed that I thought the photographs in this post are art, I can say yes. The definition of what is art is quite vague. In my opinion this isn't "good" art, as in something that will stand the test of time, has something meaningful to say, or any of the things that make a fine work worthy of adulation.

However, it's commercial "art", at the very least, and I'm not going to belittle it for it is serving it's designed purpose. Surely the photographers and models involved see this as work and not a labor of love and it's fairly disposable.

Also, for clarification, I believe dance and singing is art. Modelling, the profession, is a skill and career and not on the level of a real art, but it's not artless entirely by any stretch. Modelling can be very expressive, after all the human form and face are involved and there isn't anything more expressive than an expression, eh?

Acting falls in to a similar area. It's very expressive, but it's not quite the art form that music, painting and dance are. Once again, art is extremely personal and subjective, so I am loathe to say my opinion is the final say on this. (obviously it's not) But at least @karenmckersie has some idea what I was thinking and hopefully doesn't still think I'm crazy! :)
