And not all "composition(s) that evoke emotion" are art. A pile of dog doo on the sidewalk evokes an emotion in me, but I wouldn't call it art.


Hmm had to react to this one
I don't know anything yet about art but this sound's like turning it around

Maybe a good picture of a pile of dog doo that evoke an emotion can be art ?
If stand in front of a huge very old tree it can evoke an emotion maybe its not art.
If i have a bonsai that evoke that same emotion by me and other people could it be art then ?

Im beginner offcourse i have no answer on how to create an bonsai that is art.
Meanwhile i just read about it look at ehebition real good and just try to aply the things i read to my bonsai while a think about it.

Just as in the pleasing bit i read that article of Andy abu the bar branch and why that could be less pleasing. Trying to avoid it (offcourse trying to look at the whole picture) maybe the answer will come as i advance.
Have to start somewhere ain't i ?

Maybe finding the right questions is better then looking for answers
