A) How does Adams define art? Do you agree with his definition?


According to Adam words "The boundaries between art and non-art are not hard and fast; there is a grey area." , people is getting confused with  judging the quality of work of art. The mediums is not only some tradition painting or sculpture, but also internet and technology in today.  Therefore, people cannot say which one is art work accurately.
I agree Adams ' claim because artist can use different mediums to make a art work such as painting combining technology. Therefore, people cannot use tradition criteria to judge those digital paintings. So,what the criteria is in the future need people to think of it.
