HAS ART GONE BANANAS?

Leonardo daVinci Mona Lisa, 1503

Nathan Sawaya, 2013

Did you know that many people have different ideas of what can be considered art? Or good art vs. bad art?

The best thing about this is that there is no right or wrong answer. YOU get to decide for yourself!

This means that art can be a lot more than just painting and drawing. How cool is that?

It also means that people come up with some very strange and interesting ideas for art!

For example, this is called Bed of Ham by artist Cosimo Cavallaro and was featured in an art gallery in 2004. 

Does it smell?

Can you

eat it?

Now let’s talk bananas.

If ham can be art, so are we!

No way dude.

I am a simple

food. Just peel

and eat.

Is a plain banana art?

How could you change a banana to make it art?

Look at these interesting ideas…

You could paint a banana.

You could make a banana into transportation.

You could dump a pile of 50,000 bananas into a public place and call it installation art.

You could be a strange guy hiding in bananas.

Banana choir?

Humiliated banana dog.

You could cut and draw on a banana.

You could poke the banana with a pin and let nature help you with your design.

Banana choir?
