Between leading online discussion groups with my college students and posting long-ass comments on friends' Facebook pages concerning the nature of "art," I decided it was time to revive this blog. Though it was created over a year ago ostensibly for people to upload pictures of red crape myrtles (the rarest hue), I always envisioned it as a place for me to present broader ideas. Perhaps the broadest idea of all in my world of ideas is my belief that the popular conception of "art" is problematic, for reasons which I shall explain through definition and example.
