Most Overrated Form of Art
I have said it once, I will say it again:
"Ballet is the most overrated form of Art."
What do you think is the most overrated form of Art?

*disagrees*, but only because I took ballet for 7 years. Now if you were to say that The National Ballet of Canada specifically were overrated, well, you might be onto something there.

Photography is gay. And not art. Anyone can point and click. Are they trying to tell us that it takes a genius to figure out f-stops and fucking ISO settings?
And worse still?! People taking pictures of Ballet.
Okay, I'll bite... I suppose it takes a genius to figure out that if you mix yellow paint with blue paint you get green paint? ... art is not just about the technicalities of how you make it.. it's about knowing how to use those skills to evoke a feeling or convey an idea. To me, there is no such thing as an overrated art form, only ones which do not conform to our own personal tastes. To say something is overrated is akin to saying that the opinions and feelings of those who regard it highly are worthless, and it follows, that the people themselves are worthless. A very sad sentiment indeed. Everyone has a right to their own opinions; you don't have to agree with them, but you should at least respect them.
I agree it doesn't take a genius to mix yellow and blue to make green paint, but it's what the artist does with that green that makes all the difference.
I never said ballet wasn't art I just feel it's overrated.
Everyone respects it so much, there's so much snobbery, it's so difficult to go on points, blah blah blah.
It's boring, and who needs to go on points anyway?
I disagree with photography, I think some photograpy is true art, but there is a lot of shit out there.
