Right side= left hand/ Left side= right hand
*what does that say for a right handed artist? i.e.-Me
*does this mean that what im creating isnt art because the wrong hand is the one drawing it? if thats true then im doing a good job of fooling everyone.

Foxes are seen as "crafty" swift.. successful wild animals. there is an accisociation with craft to animals not so much philosophical
**back to philosophy being interior
*philosophy is the most human of P,S,C,A

**back to craft as exterior
*the body making somthing else
*"the Craftyness of animals is not so much the thinking through the problem but in manifesting some action that confers an advantage to the animal"

"Art" comes from the Latin "ars, artis"; "arse" is English for the posterior.
Re: the clock and creating art
I hope that your question here is more of a funny than anything else. I think the only consideration of whether something is art or not is its degree of expression: if an act can in some degree be shown as a work of self-expression, then it may be said to that degree to be art.
Whether an act is performed one way or another is fundamentally and definitionally irrelevant to that problem.
Now, if one places conditions on one's actions as part of one's art (and, when I have an opportunity to pursue that issue more fully in class, I will examine the situation of conditions in defining art), then one might say whether something is "good art" or not.
As an example from my own artistic work -- and by "artistic" I mean works or acts in which art is the dominant interpretive modality -- as a poet I have often limited my diction to words derived from Anglo-Saxon or other Germanic languages. This means that my work may be less "spontaneous" than it might be if I also used words derived from Romance languages (for example), but the conditions which I place on my art define the art. If art had no conditions, it could not be perceived. The more narrow the conditions, the more distinctive the art. Also, the degree to which I meet the conditions which I have set determines whether my art is "good" or "bad". Probably no other factor determines this as fully.
Thanks for writing this.
