What Makes Something Art?

Truthfully, at first, it seems like her paintings were just a little kid, playing around with paint. But when I think about it, it is art, because its her own thing. I think art is just something that you do on your own, it's your own thing, and it's how you express yourself. If you put your heart into it, and have fun with it, I think thats art. 

I think this whole thing about Marla was ridiculous. This whole controversy about if her paintings were her own or her dads. One of the quotes that her dad said stuck in my head. He said something like 'everyone makes the story how they want it to be, and not what it is.' I think that is so true. Once people have suspicions, like 60 Minutes, and they air it on tv, and media, then people would easily be fooled, and they make it what they think, and not what the truth is. Everyone was being so ridiculous, and they were trying sue them for it.

Marla doesn't like painting on camera, and I wouldn't either. I think it would just be nerve racking. You would always worry about painting it perfect, and not relaxed, and doing your own thing. 

I'm glad that the questions about Marla were cleared up, and I think that people shouldn't be so harsh.
