Art. It comes in diverse media and is created by even more diverse individuals. It is inextricably tied to the human experience. It is the way we communicate ideas, esteem values, and effect change. And all of this wrapped in beauty. The appreciation of what our hands create is something that separates humans from the rest of the animal kingdom. This appreciation is not just merely being pleased with our work, but the ability to interpret, analyze, and assign value to it. Those things look different for each person. Oftimes art is viewed as subjective. But what can be agreed upon is the value of art.

In this episode, we sit down and talk about what makes art - in all its forms - both good and bad. Without offering strict definitions or standards, we talk about what we mean when we deem art “good” or “bad” and the implications of those categories.
