'What makes Bad Art?’, I hear you ask.
Well, the criteria are simple(ish):
Completely devoid of technical skill (Colour, tone, perspective and shading)
Unusual, poor or tasteless subject matters (Preferably all three!)
Undeniable passion, driven by an uneducated hand.
That ‘special’ feeling that forms in your gut
