In "Art Which Can't Be Art," Alan Kaprow explains how brushing his teeth is a form of art. I believe what he is trying to say is that depending on how you see things, anything can be art. If all you do while brushing your teeth is think I'm simply brushing my teeth, then thats all it will ever be. But you have to look deeper into it, once you see the muscles in your hand and arm moving back and forth and the brush scrubbing against your teeth, thats when you can look at it in a form of art. Once you start to view everyday things in that way, thats when you realize that anything you do can be a form of art.
I believe that thinking and viewing things in that way will open my mind up to new things. This will be able to help me view art in a new way and also create new art much differently than I use to. This passage also relates to what we have seen in class, because most of what i have viewed has been much different than most art i have studied in the past. The artists that we have studied so far have created art by thinking more outside the box. It's almost not so much what they have created but also how they created it and the journey it took to get there.
