Let's talk "Art"

And by "art" in this post I mean drawings, paintings, pictures, sculptures...not books, film, or music.  So calm down.

Moving on...

Okay so I'm on Pinterest today and I'm looking around in the "art" section.  For all who know me know that I hate "art".  Yes, that's right I HATE it.  I think it's dumb.  I do not understand it.  I cannot comprehend, for the life of me, why a crooked face or a line that isn't straight is considered "art".  It looks sloppy and lazy.  Honestly, who can't draw a crooked face or a line that isn't straight?  I know I can.  Does this now make me an "artist"?

And another thing, what's the deal with taking a person's body and putting a weird animal head on it or an inanimate object on it as the head? I just don't get it.  What is the purpose?  How is this "art"?  People get paid for this?  It seems to me this type of "art" is keeping serial killers on the streets.  Why do I need a picture of a man with a toaster oven as his head?  Is "art" defined by how weird or outrageous a person can be?

I find that I get frustrated by "art" and I think it's basically a big waste of time.  If you are going to draw a squirrel then draw a squirrel...why does it need to have six legs or a tail coming out of it's back or a toaster oven for a head?

Maybe it's me not being able to think in the abstract but I just do not understand...
