"Good Art" vs. "Bad Art"

   What is good art ? What is bad art ? I believe that most people consider "good art" as something that they can relate and build a connection too. I also believe that people consider "bad art" as art that they don't understand. As for me I can honesty say that I like many different types of art works. This can range from art created during the Renaissance like, Michelangelo's David, to Pablo Picasso's abstract work like,Guernica, to work from Vincent  van Gogh like Starry Night or Wheatfields with Crows. What attracts me to this art is the history behind it. what I mean by this is was happening to the artist when he created this piece? What inspired this person to create this? When I understand questions like these it makes it easier to appreciate their work. also i consider good art to be art that inspires good or bad feelings from you.
   Now as for "what is bad art" ? I don't believe that any art can truly be considered "bad" but if one had to describe "bad art" I would say that bad art is art that doesn't stand out or doesn't give you a reason to appreciate what your seeing. Whether good or bad I believe that all art should be able to spark one's creativity.
    here are examples of what I consider "good art" :
