some of the people making trendwhore sigs are trying to learn photoshop so they can make art, you cant start from nowhere...its difficult to make an image really powerful if you cant even use the tool right.
art is anything that someone makes and expresses themself in some way with. part of the beauty of art it that when you don't explain it, people can think anything about it. art is best left unexplained. dont tell people what its about, thats limiting the work too much, it should be open for interpretation. asking if art is beautiful is like asking people if Britney Spears or Paris Hylton is beautiful...arguments on both sides...
*edit*
i see no art in most of the movies put out in malls and movietheaters. people whore out the big bucks to put someones books on screen most of the time. Holes was a cool book when i read it way back, but putting it in a movie is just one persons skewed (by the acting and other uncontrollable stuff) reality of the book.
