What is art?
Art is a broad term. Art is mostly what a critic sees. I view art as many differnt types, it could be music, paintings, architecture, even material items, such as cars. Most people decide what art is by if they like it. If i didn't particulary like a photo or painting, i wouldn't classify it as art, but that is just one critic's opinion. Art takes time, it's not something done instantly. For an artist it may take several hours to think of an idea, but don't get me wrong art can happen spontaneously. To sum it all up, Art is not always seen, music, language, poetry.

I like this viewpoint, particularly the spontaneous point. I don't think that personal preference can be a good reason for deciding whether something is art though. What if someone hates your work, but you see it as art? What if that person funds the arts? That's quite a conundrum, isn't it?
