Things may look beautiful or attractive on first appearance...
 Things may look beautiful or attractive on first appearance but looking closer over time reveals the true reality of things. Beauty does not last. Beauty can be used to disguise the ugly reality. I like the way Anya Gallaccio allows beauty to decompose and disturb and the Chapman Brothers' sculptures are beautifully made. Beauty isn't something we should just sit back and enjoy it is something used to make us question the world around us.   Comment from Catherine Ababio, 16, Tate Forum young people's group |

Isn't it selfish to make an audience have to know an artist's background to appreciate their work?
There is inspiration, appeal and meaning in Grayson Perry's work, but where is the inspiration, appeal and meaning in Willie Doherty's work? Isn't it selfish to make an audience have to know an artist's background to appreciate their work? Comment from Dahlia Dowler, 16, Tate Forum young people's group |

Willie Doherty brings us together by dealing with the panic and paranoia we all share
Willie Doherty doesn't openly shock the audience like Jake and Dinos Chapman, nor does he subtly shock us like Grayson Perry, leaving us wondering about his life story. Instead, he achieves a great feat by bringing together the people of this world, by personifying their greatest predator, the panic and paranoia which is created by our own minds, I think the element of shock, decreases the value of the art.

The artists in this year's show are preoccupied with art of the past
Some of the artists in this year's show are preoccupied with art of the past. The Chapman Brothers' inspiration from Goya is evident, Gallaccio's work refers to a history of British landscape painting and Perry's vases are inspired by ancient Athenian vessels. Are they afraid to look forward? Comment from Eddie Barnard, 16, Tate Forum young people's group |
