A Definition of Quality

My high school transcript is not a typical one of someone who makes their living dealing with computers for a living. I think I took only one computer course and failed it in glorious fashion after abusing my ability to sign myself out of it for the last half of the semester (I turned 18). My transcript is however heavily loaded with art credits. Art classes, like many other genres of class have a semi-standard format. Typically, they begin with a variation of “What is Art?”. Around grade 10 or 11 I saw an interview on The New Music with someone who said “Art is anything you can get away with”. To me, this was a Eureka moment where I had stumbled on something grand and from that point used that as the central principle for my art projects and to answer the semester beginning question. In fact, my OAC (grade 13) portfolio was entitled “Things I think are cool” and had no central theme topic wise other than I thought the subjects of the works interesting at the time.
