A. Discussion
"The three things I considered as an ART are Cooking, Traveling, and Sketching. First is cooking I think the first time a tried to cook is when I am in grade 6 in a class. The teacher teaches us how to cut stuff using knives and how to operate stoves. That is when I started to like cooking because I like the way how food was cook and the feeling when you are the one who’s going to eat what you work hard for. I think the challenges in cooking are to get the right flavor or seasoning of the food. Second is travelling, because when I travel I see different things, some are new and some are not. I like to travel because I meet lots of people ah for me it is my way to relieve stress. The third thing that I consider as an art is sketching. Because I can express what I have in mind and show them to other people. Sketching is just my past time whenever I am bored or not doing anything. I think the challenge in sketching is that when you started something It will be hard for you to stop until you have finished the sketch." -Jethro Hernandez
"I've had time to draw since I was a kid; writing--mostly--only when I have to, which is usually for college homework; and playing with sculpture when I feel like it and have the right materials, which is uncommon.
I like the the infinite ideas I can make solid or at least visual with these activities.
Practice will help anyone perform these activities better."

B. 5 points of inquiry
Q
1. Does the Artist’s INTENTION make something Art?
2. Does the fact that a work treated as Art by the art world (define) make it Art?
3. Are judgments about Art objective? Or are they simply matters of TASTE? (define)
4. Is one artistic or AESTHETIC judgment as good as another?
5. Does the application of aesthetic concepts make something a Work of Art?
A
1. If the Artist's intention is to make something art, then it is art to the Artist. Others seeing that something as art depends on their perception of what art is.
2. If something is treated as Art by the art world (The art world is the "world" composed of all the people involved in the production, commission, preservation, promotion, criticism, and sale of art) then it is most likely art since the veterans of art consider it so. Yet, others seeing that something as art depends on their perception of what art is.
3, Art is a matter of taste (Taste as an aesthetic, sociological, economic and anthropological concept refers to a cultural patterns of choice and preference).
4. One's artistic and aesthetic judgment are always different with others' artistic and aesthetic judgment, no matter how minute the differences are. It is difficult to say if one is better than the other. A detailed study must be must be executed to get accurate data.
5. The application of aesthetic concepts usually makes Anything a work of art. Yet, others seeing that something as art depends on their perception of what art is.
C. Example
A good example for the discussion and 5 points would be films. It varies from person to person when seeing a film as art depends on their perception of what art is.
