Do you mean is it used to describe things, that really shouldn't be called 'Art' often? Hell-to the-yes! Did you see any of the recent Joe debates about artists? A man sold a drawing that looked like a kindergartner's finger painting, for over 37 million. That said, I do think the word art is thrown around a lot, but rightfully so. Anything could be considered art if you can call it self expression, and someone can take something from it. This, what we're doing now, is art to somebody. Side: Yes

Who should determine what is art and what is not art? Are you? If a man wanted a finger painting for $37 million, whose is to judge him for purchasing it? It was a voluntary exchange. What does it matter? The expression of "get thrown around a lot" has very objective connotations as to say that art is not the eye of the beholder but something else. Side: No
