What is the definition of art?

Answer 1

There can't possibly be a definition of art, because all art is subjective. And once you call it art, it is art in the eye of the beholder. Art is esentially a creation, so it can cover a vast and diverse range of "things" that could potentially be labeled "ART". LOL

Answer 2

Art is anything you can see that is man made. Some think art is a painting on the wall but it's so much more. The design of just about anything is art...even a box has to be designed by a 3 - demensional design artist. Video games, homes, buildings, packaging, clothing, make-up, hairstyle, costumes, movie and tv sets, puppets, dolls, toys, games, and of course framed pictures. Art is so subjective.
