Can photography be good art? Is Marcel Duchamp (found object) art? Can good art be discovered almost serendipitously, or can good art only be created by slowly learning and applying a skill?
I think art is mostly about perception and selection, by the viewer. There are others that think art is more about the crafting process by the artist. How do you tell the difference between an artist and a craftsperson?

One way I categorise artists I have met is engineer-type artists versus discovery-type artists: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31981875
