"The experiential test of whether this art is great or good, or minor or abysmal, is the effect it has on your own sense of the world and of yourself. Great art changes you."

- Sister Wendy Beckett

A lot of people like to say that there is no such thing as bad art. Essentially, they are correct, in my opinion, but yet in Beckett's eyes, they are absolutely wrong. The true test to see if a piece of art is good doesn't lie in your preference and style, but what it makes you think of the world and yourself. It's suppose to change your view of the world around you and the world inside yourself, and if it doesn't, then it's not good art. And to an extent, I agree, but sometimes art doesn't have to reach your soul to be good art. Art is about expressing yourself in the most creative way possible and just because it doesn't change everyone's worlds, doesn't mean it's not good or not special to you.
