There exist certain rules for what is considered as beeing good and according to these rules there do exist good and bad ones.
Art has never been defined as "something that can be called 'good'." A person's performance in bed with their sexual partner could be considered "good" and rated by a variety of criteria(stamina, technique, etc), but it would not be considered "art".

Last but not least the art is in the eye of the beholder.
I'm an art piece, by the way. Also, I sometimes have to scoop up my dog's art when he doesn't drop his art pieces in the yard like he's supposed to.

Your accounting teacher probably knew a lot more about accounting than art.
