This photo/poster is completely hilarious. I believe that sometimes people do take art too seriously. Artists create things partly to entertain you. Sure, it's great to really examine a piece of art and get into the "nitty gritty" details; but once in a while, take it at first glance and enjoy yourself.

Jackie, i really agree with you how people sometimes take art to seriously. Like with the urinal, yes i do in a way think that it is kind of stupid but you need to look at it and really think that it is a expression of humor rather then something stupid. You are so right about saying that you need to enjoy yourself, some people try to focus on every aspect. Rather then on the humor.
I love that picture, and I love that it says to expose yourself to art. I think that art is something that keeps us sane in a way. It's a way to express ourself and our feelings that we may keep bottled up inside and that can be unhealthy. I totally agree with you that people take art too seriously. Yes, sometimes art is supposed to be serious, because it might portray an event or feeling that shouldn't be laughed at, but in the same aspect it is important to look at all art as being creative and a sense of who someone is. Even somethinig that you don't believe to be art can be.
I too love that picture when it said expose youself this person actually did just that expose him self to the work of art. To me this person needs help. For me this pictue made me laugh to myself. Thank for the laugh on the part what art is.
