What is art?

Tomorrow, I need to have a discussion about something and in coaching I'm going to pose a question to reflect onconsideration on. What is artwork? Or more correctly, while is art artwork and while is it some thing else.

I do not think this portray via Thomas Kincade is artwork.

But I do think that this spoof of a Kincade painting by Jim Blanchard is.

So what is artwork? And while does it become art? When does artwork stop being a craft and what's the difference?

Piss Christ,

Andres Serrano, 1986

The query is not whether or not or now not you like something. It's easy to dismiss paintings I don't like as something other than art. My dislike of the work of Thomas Kincade is not what's underneath my dismissal of his stuff.
