Your right.
It has all of the colors of the visual spectrum.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, the light reflects all visible colors of the spectrum
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, but the canvas is white.
So therefore, it has all the visible colors already in it, which allows it to reflect all the visible colors of the light.

Yeah, but white isn't a color.

If you failed kindergarten, you would know white isn't a color.

Okay, now you're hardly making ANY sense.

I meant, If you didn't fail kindergarten, you would know white isn't a color.

Oh.
No. Of course it's a color.
White is all of the colors mixed together.
BLACK is the absence of those colors.

White is a shade. Not a color.
Black is a shade. Not a color.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
White, Black, Grey, and all of the inbetweens are related to colors.
Shades is one of the relations they have to colors.
But technically they ARE colors in their own rights.

art [ahrt]
noun
the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, what's so beautiful and appealing about this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It doesn't HAVE to be beautiful, just like it doesn't HAVE to have a meaning, according to you.
What about milk puzzles? Are those not works of art either, just because they don't have a picture when you complete it?

Does fucking splatter paint have a meaning?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course it does!
You get to throw buckets (pardon that term there) of paint everywhere on a canvas, and then you get to name it, right?
Splatter paint can have a meaning behind it if you put your mind to it.
It IS art after all. There's even an entire style to doing it.
And you keep jumping from art to meaning and back in this comment thread. Quit changing the subject in hopes that you can win this one.

*facepalm* A Homestuck weebaboo. Beautiful. Go away now, I hate people like you who are like "Oh mai gawd I can't use the word BUCKET ever again!!!1!! it's soooo inappropriate!!!11!"
You're just splattering paint on a canvas. Anyone with basic motor skill could do that.
Who are you to tell me
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Original, saying how bucket jokes aren't funny or clever.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
because they aren't.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Well, as binarystep said, who are you to say what is art and what isn't?
AND PARDON ME for being sensitive to a fellow homestuckian, or whatever term you would use for that. I just ASSUMED from that profile pic of yours that maybe I should use less 100d terms. MY BAD.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ask yourself the same question.
NO ONE is going to give a flying fuck if you use the word BUCKET. It's not going to send anyone into a flying rage when they see one.
Let me guess, you don't eat Betty Crocker products either....
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I don't eat Betty Crocker because it tastes like cardboard.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And that's okay if you don't like it for that reason

Also, I'm pretty sure you got called a weaboo.

Well, it depends

Bucket jokes = Sometimes funny
XD

Actually, I could care less where my cakes come from.
And you're derailing the topic again. This isn't about Homestuck. This is about why this is/isn't art.
And the truth is NOBODY can tell ANYONE what is art and what isn't.
Not to bash the Mona Lisa or anything, but in your eyes, is it really worth over 670 million dollars?
Probably not, but that was it's price in 2006.

Well, sure it is.

Yet it is just a drawing of a woman made by DaVinci.
Let's say that it WASN'T made by DaVinci hundreds of years ago and in fact was made by binarystep today and put on the market or on DA.
Would it get the same popularity as if DaVinci made it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly. Our perceptions on what we think is art and what isn't is different in that aspect.
So you can keep on THINKING that this isn't art, but don't just say that it ISN'T.
So what if it's a waste of space to you? This entire comment war is a waste of space itself.
At least, it feels like that to me.
Point is, some people out there will think this is art, and others will think otherwise.
Whether it is or isn't is up for debate, but pointing fingers and saying "This isn't art, it's a waste of space", and trying to state it as fact, is what's really stupid.

Well, your username is stupid
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Now you're just looking for things to pick at with me.
Look, I've made my damn point already. No need to hit anywhere more than that. I'm not insulting YOUR username, am I? In fact, I don't see myself criticizing you on ANYTHING in these comment threads besides YOUR COMMENTS.
If people have a hard time spelling out my name because it's spelled in leet-speak, they can copy - paste. I used it because I thought it would be a bit more original and people would recognize me a bit better.
Let's not drag this war any farther than it already is.

It was obviously a troll move.

Yeah, I know. Didn't wanna call her out on it because she obviously ran out of things to argue with me in this thread.

Philosophical art is a lot better than the pornography that gets DDs at least twice a week, wouldn't you agree?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
No.
Because it's not porn. It's artistic nude. And there is a difference.
This is all bullshit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
What do you consider to be porn?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Something that may arouse somebody in a sexual way?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, But I would say that 'artistic nudes' Has a huge gray area.
