Well, that's one of the things about art. It's not the creator that decides what is art or not - it's the interpretation. While I personally like the Aesthetics for art evaluation, they have been thrown out for many years. Now anything that inspires other to look, or think about something different or provoke though is consider art. What about Poetry? It isn’t looked at its – read. Music? Is music art? So if you put a Space Shuttule in a museum - is it art?

@Bold: Yes. This is one of the points I think some people don't understand. If a creator of a piece of work says it's not "art," it doesn't suddenly become "not art." Many times, we disregard the thoughts of the original creator when analyzing these things. That's kind of what they teach in Literature classes.
@Italics: Another point I was trying to make. Some try to define art as something that must be observed. Reading something is not observing. Listening to something is not observing. If we make these limitations on art, we have to take away a lot of things that have already become established as art forms.
