    @wild edges in the wild you'd be running at each other and crashing antlers! It's how boymen know it's time to start their own group. It can take a while so good luck. 🤣
    My friend knew it was time for her boymen to go when they started to win all the wrestling matches, the wrestling stopped and daddy got very very cranky!

    Has he gone through the 'Yes, but why' and 'But teacher says...' stages yet?

    Does anyone know if there's a reason for the points l seem to be accumulating on the forum ? Can l exchange for cash or a voucher ?
    I feel as though l might be missing out, which makes me feel curmudgeonly.

    No, but you might lose your driving licence soon @AnniD!

    Looking at my profile and it says 'Invalid Date' for date joined.  Does that mean I only joined on 11th Feb this year?  Coz that's the date I had my hip operation. :D

    I have 7.5K points. Is that good or bad?

    I've only got 1.2k points. And I thought THAT was good!!

    For anyone thinking the subject worthy of further pondering
    https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/art-definition/ 
    but again, this looks at what art is, not at what it isn’t, which was the subject we started out with here
    😊 


    Bear with me @Dovefromabove - I'm a slow reader. I'm about half way through the paper and apart from discussing how it is all but impossible to define what art is, all the definitions discussed are based on subjectivity from what I can see.
    Maybe you can speed up my reading process by highlighting where in the document there is a definition that isn't based on subjectivity? Doesn't matter if you haven't got time, as I'll plod through.

    I didn’t link to it as a way of my proving anything @steveTu … that’s not the point of it … it’s a piece of philosophical writing  looking at ways of defining art and I posted it simply as something of interest. 

    However if art is purely subjective how is it assessed and graded to an agreed standard in educational qualifications such as Fine Art Hons degrees etc?
