QOTD: How do you define art?

Suggested, pretty much, by MillieAnn282000.

Ah, such a fun and difficult subject to discuss. How exactly does one define what qualifies as art and what does not? Can anyone be an artist? This is also a good chance to discuss offensive "art," taboos, and pieces created solely for economic consumption. Is advertising an art or just a medium for money?

Hm. Why do I have the feeling we've done this one before?

OH WELL. IGNORE THE OTHER ONE.

You've done one like it, but not completely the same.

With me, its work that takes my breath away. Like the artists is trying to convey something deep in them. For photography, they havent just snapped. They've thought about the photo and stuff

Basically, when you know what you are looking at, listening too, and being inspired by, has every heartbeat, blood, sweat and tears in it.....

I don't. I just let it happen.

Art, in my opinion, is something rare and beautiful, that strikes awe in the person viewing it.

For me, art is honesty. It's just a reflection and extension of human nature. Art has something recognizable in primal in it that you just feel a natural connection.

Art is the expression of the soul on canvas or sculpture.

Art is everywhere if you look hard enough.

Anyone can be an Artist the big trick is getting people to buy your work, not everyone can do that. Some people create Art in the hope to sell it rather than the pleasure of the creation; these are the people who create Art that is empty. Without emotion a piece of Art can't be called Art, but that's just my opinion.

for me art is an honest expression of feelings or ideas through something concrete like a film or a song. a can full of somebody s shit, or a toilet seat can be art, if you know which way you have to look at it.oh and if it s honest, from somebody s feelings, then it should be original.not done a million times before.and if it makes one person feel, or wonder, or any kind of feeling or reaction, then it s art.to me at least...
