What is Kaprow's main argument?

Anything can be art whether or not it is acknowledged as it. He also notes that does not have to be put in context. When he looks at brushing his teeth as art, he begins to dive even further into what goes on when he is actually brushing his teeth, then questions if he hadn't thought of it as art would he be noticing it. Regardless, he still argues it is art. 


How does the reading relate to theme of the class/ how might it help you make art?

Time can be defined in a lot of ways. One way I view it is change or movement after an allotted period. In this regard, this reading can show that the simplest of movements can lead to art projects and ideas.



Do any verbs or actions stick out to you in this reading?

The actions of him thinking stuck out. He kept adding on precise details to what he realized while brushing his teeth. It also reveals that once he starts thinking of a routine in his daily life, that it chain react to even more thoughts or actions occurring during a single routine.
