An artwork is anything you want it to be.
Tom 10 years

I think anything can be an artwork e.g. In the Tate Modern there was a urinal. The artist didn't even make it but it was called an artwork. An artwork is anything the artist says is an artwork. It is how some people express themselves.

With some artworks when I look at them I feel happy but it all depends on the colour ... if it is black then you sort of feel a little depressed.

It doesn't have to be complicated it can be very simple. I think a good art piece is usually original.

Something could be called an artwork if it was obviously something or simply made you feel some emotion or reminded you of something.
