Kitsch

Kitsch can be defined and interoperated many different ways, but the main idea is that kitsch is a tasteless object of art that is not high in value. Kitsch art is normally mass produced objects that have witty designs and gestures, which typically cause popular appeal to the crowd. Kitsch object are also known for having sentimental value to an individual, but not to someone who would be considered a professional designer or artist.  

This artwork is considered kitsch art because whoever owns this piece of art must love dogs, and appreciate how the dogs are being portrayed as human beings. This piece of art would never be chosen by a designer to decorate a house though, because the piece wouldn't be appealing in an interior space.

This lunchbox would also be considered kitsch art, because it is Leonardo Da Vinci's famous painting of the last supper, but it is on the face of a lunchboox. This makes it kitsch art because you would use a lunchbox for food, and the painting is of the famous last meal Jesus had with his disciples, making this lunchbox extremely witty but can also come off as cheesy.
