OKAY! So I found this awesome great website.. called Art news blogs. Pretty much people can blog about current art affairs. really Really REALLY cool. I am so very excited. I think this website could definitely be a great resource in my teaching career. It just has so much interesting topics and discussion! Oh it is soo very exciting
This is the website http://www.artnewsblog.com
So one of the blogers wrote about how A Jackson Pollock was purchased for five dollars then sold for 50 million.. Can I say INFLATION! wop wop
Teri Horton (CBCNEWS) quotes;“Do I personally think it’s worth $50 million? Hell no. It’s worth the $5 I gave for it. It’s ugly.”
WHAT DO YOU THINK?!
Do you think it is ugly? or art?
What price would you put on it?

I could make it myself why would I even pay $5? Haha great post!
I’ve heard about that story with painting before. I feel bad for the person who owned it before and sold it for $5. Its one of those pieces of art that is defined as art by the art world. Sure it shows different art techniques but honestly I think most people could create a painting similar to that and it definitely would not sell for 50 million. I do like the look of splatter paint but not enough that I would ever want one displayed in my house, well maybe on my fridge once my niece is old enough to paint. Looks like an interesting site, thanks for sharing!
