What's YOUR Genre of Art and Its Application?

There are zillions of ways to apply paint, goo, graphite, ink, watercolor etc to as many surfaces to apply it!

You can blow paint on canvas besides the tradition brush method, you can dribble the paint a la Jackson Pollack, you can throw paint on as David Hockney has done, use kitchen utensils to apply paint, rags and many other things that can hold paint.

And the "canvas" can be silk, paper, cardboard, masonite, glass, concrete and another million or so surfaces to attack.

By getting paint airborn (throwing it on or dribbling from a can) in random fashion, can this be called art? Applying different ways of getting paint on a canvas is taught quite a lot in schools which is, in a way, creative and gets the student to think outside the box. But can this art have any merit?

What I've found is the student who applies the "airborn" method usually does not know when to stop and the overall effect looks like a mess.
