    Art is everything that we make with intent for it to carry a message or be beautiful as well as functional - all of us who wish to make art - make art - apart from the fact that nature is not art anything that is made has some art design within it - Only the individual may say what is not good art to them or what moves them no one has the right to decide for you although some art critics would like you to believe that they have that right.

    For example we have bread making factories and there is art in the design of the loaf and the wrapper and someone baking their own loaf will decide everything about size shape decorations - If we have eyes to see art is everywhere.

    Like beauty, art is in the eye of the beholder. It's really what you make of it. Each person has their own opinion of what makes a work of art.

    In my opinion, art is art if there is at least one person who likes it :) (Even if it's only the artist himself/herself.)

  • that's a deep question, Shakespeare.
