Art is pretty easy. You can create a pile of trash and call it art and no one would question you. Just ask Sho.

Art is not easy. Especially if it's a certain type of art. Drawing and sketching are actually difficult, and from your own imagination, whereas recoloring is just recycling old pieces. Pure art is something new that someone spent a lot of time on, whether it be writing, drawing, or music.

You can just create a pile of trash and that'd be art.

To certain people, like certain art teachers. It's not art, if it's a pile of trash. Art is a form of expression made by someone in their form. A pile of garbage, literally, is just that, a pile of garbage. The art from the contest is true art, something that people poured their blood sweat and tears into.

But the pile, to me and maybe a few other artists, is a reflection of the world and the people who live in it. Its an expression of disgust.

And I don't see why anyone would pour anyone of those bodily fluids into their art. Especially paintings.

Not literally XP, but seriously, good pieces of art take a lot of effort. So saying that you can create a pile of garbage and call it art is correct, but it won't be good art to most people.
