1. What is your age? Under 18 Years Old 18 to 24 Years Old 25 to 30 Years Old 31 to 40 Years Old 41 to 50 Years Old 51 to 60 Years Old Over 60 Years Old2. What is your gender? Male Female3. When you see a painting with no recognizable person, place, or thing, you think... What's the point of this so-called "art?" It's a beautiful mess of colors and shapes. It could be better with just a few recognizable shapes. I don't know what to think! It amazes and confuses me.4. When you see a painting of people or places in every-day life with every-day colors, you think... This is what art should look like! This is the opposite of what art should look like. This is boring, but has artistic merit. It depends on what people and what places are in the painting.5. When you see a painting that seems blurry, with lots of dots of color, you think... This is the beginning of abstraction. This is a beautiful impression of what was seen by the artist. Why didn't this artist learn how to "color in the lines?"6. When an artist says they're going to paint an emotion, you think of a painting by... da Vinci (e.g. "Mona Lisa") Van Gogh (e.g. "Starry Night") Monet (e.g. "Waterlilies") Andy Warhol (e.g. "Marilyn Monroe") Picasso (e.g. "Guernica") Jackson Pollock (e.g. paint splatters)7. What do you think about classical art? (e.g. ancient Grecian art) It helps identify beauty and idealism in society. There are too many rules and regulations in that style for my taste. It doesn't express anything personal about the subject or the artist. It was just another step in leading to the Renaissance.8. What is your opinion of abstract art? I like it because I have a sense of emotion from the artist. I don't like it because I have to think too much. I like it because I can provide my own interpretation to its meaning. I think it's interesting, but I prefer something with recognizable people and places.9. I would like to travel to Europe because... I want to experience something new. I want to see the Louvre and other historical places of art. I don't have any interest in going to Europe. I like to learn about other cultures and see things from a new perspective.10. How do you feel about nudity in art? It should be studied by artists to perfect their renderings of the body. Doesn't matter to me. It's natural, but should be censored from children.11. How do you feel about graffiti art? It's totally illegal and distasteful to put your "mark" on someone else's property. It brings art to the masses. It should be displayed in galleries too.12. What do you think about trying to capture a dream in a painting? It can't be done -- dreams are too complicated. I love it when artists do this! Art is always an attempt to capture the essence of something.
