1) Do you agree that this is all conceptual art is?
no this is an example of how to do work in the style of "conceptual art".
2) How does the fact that there is a eHow on making conceptual art affect your ideas of art?
indifference, my ideas are not affected by ignorant generalities
3) Is there a difference between this and the old Bob Ross painting shows?
yes, Bob Ross never attempted to call his work anything more than representational. The only similarity is that both attempted to teach art to an outsider.
4) Can High Art survive in the modern world?
Yes and no, there will always be an establishment for high art to exist in. But the barriers to create art and influence others through your work are coming down.
And for my own work.
1) My work is firmly entrenched in conceptual art norms, what forms of postmodern art has the internet made irrelevant, or are there any?
I don't think the internet has any affect on the irrelevancy of postmoddern art.
2) I feel my work attempts to make the intangible not just tangible but accessible, is there a point where accessibility tips to eHow?
What part of you is supposedly intangible. By the fact that you are making tangible work about supposedly intangible aspects of yourself makes this argument moot. You are making tangible and accessible work work about tangible and accessible aspects of yourself at some level.
3) My concept of self dissection and betterment strives to be deep, dangerous, and relevant. Is there more to "good" conceptual art than the strength of the concept?
Good can mean so many things. Is the idea engaging? Is the piece visually stimulating? Does it stimulate other ideas, conversations, and debate? I feel like this question is part of the ehow page on conceptual art. Here's a better question. How do you dissimilate between "good" and "bad" conceptual art?
4) Do you feel there is a difference between my work and something someone would make after reading this eHow?
I feel like there is a difference in the work, but not in your outlook on the art world in general. I felt this article was an attempt to make a much broader statement anybody reading the article could create artwork on the same level as a student or graduate of fine arts. That I disagree with. Then again, you could just be playing devils advocate.
