Blog #2 Sept. 3rd

How can we look at art?  Is it something hanging up on a wall with a frame, an object we have to stare at for hours just to figure out a reason it was made.  Does it need a reason to be created.  In that case...why was it created?  My biggest interest is this:  What makes food art (culinary).  Do we need to design food for it to be considered an art.  Is our appreciation for the art left to our eyes, or our taste buds.  The satisfaction of our brain considering something artistic could be left up to the visual or the sensation of devouring something delicious.  Food has always confused me looking at it from an aesthetic viewpoint.
