If you could please send me your idea of art — I went to Google and ask “What is art?” — guess what I got 1,400,000,000 matches — that is 1.4 billion matches. I hope one of you will make it 1,400,000,001. THANKS ahead of time!!!
In the year 1900 March 26, Grandpa was the school master — think about 15-20 students attended — the actual number any given day depended on temperature, wind, rain , snow, and farm work to be done: He wrote “Snow in morning, rained and snowed during day. In evening solicited advertisements for on program of play. Succeeded well. W.T. Hoffman here over night. Noah Ripple here”
I assume in 1900 Grandpa “Solicited” some form of art work for the cover of the school play advertisement too? Wish I had a copy of it for you but I do not. So, I went to web to see what a typical advertisements looked like in 1900 — found this one for Coke — at least it shows the style of then:
1900 Cocacola – 5cents! looks like quality art — shows a typical person toady sitting down for some Coke — I mean a cola! Ha ha!!!

JONAS GERARD says it is a van.
The chef a Laughing Seed Cafe’ says art is food.
Here is art – George Rodrique selected an single art object for paintings on the wall, books, book covers, mugs, towels, even a bar and restaurant and more — The object is a simple Blue Dog — I am sure you have all seen a blue dog – right??? Come to think of it, I never saw a blue dog and I never saw a purple cow — bet I could Photoshop one though — maybe I will try?
These authors selected a book cover. – they approved the art work
WOW – From my front window this morning — baby loon on momma’s back. God decided that this is His expression or application of human creative skill and imagination — that thing WIKIPEDIA describes as art. OOPS — I think WIKIPEDIA.COM allows only humans to create art — Just look outside at nature and tell me if you think WIKIPEDIA really knows what they are talking about when it comes to art!!!
Somebody created this and thought it was art — and I will use it to say goodby until tomorrow!
