ART?????

What is art? What isn't art? Personally I think that art is a form of expression, at can recreate and idea, create a new idea or create a representation. Art comes in many different forms; from songs to pictures, to maybe even a short story. I have come to believe that art is almost a category that something fits into when you don't know the category that something fits into. For example, if your are unsure of what category something may fit into, like they know that it's not science, and not history, it could be art.

The other day I was talking about a poem i wrote not too long ago and was asked, well is that poem art? I immediately snapped back claiming that of course it's art, but then got to thinking of what makes my poem art, why was I so sure? I decided it was art because I find most poetry to be art, i was intending for my poem to be art and to express my opinions, and was hoping to get a related feeling from other woman as a response to my poem.

In our class, this is what we discussed on how art has intention, some sort of quality and a response, for these reasons I came to the conclusion that my poem was in fact a piece of art, and using these factors as a guide line we are able to somewhat distinguish between what is art and what is not. The quality and success in achieving the intent can differ between good and bad art, although sometimes yes it may be subjective. So, if you are creating a master piece try to remember that the art really is judged subjectively; but if you achieve what you set out to do, you created a work of art.

And That's my Thoughts;
