The non-art public?

"Art just a painting on the wall"...um lol. architecture, sculpture, ceramics; just to name a couple - some styles of art have existed thousands of years before "a painting on a wall" was even "invented"!

Just my 2 cents. While I do think that this qualifies as art, I feel strongly that more thought went into attracting attention rather than making a statement. Just my 2 cents.
