Define art.?

i have an intro to theater class and we had to define art. the majority of the class agreed that 'art is what artists do.' i don't quite agree with that. what is your definition of art? please help.

Define art.?
the world and everything in it. whether it be good or bad. beautiful or ugly, it is still a creation. and that is what art is. a creation that can be expressed in countless different ways. the art of painting, the art of office work. teh art of love, the art of hate.
Reply:Art is existence. You can find art in everything. Art is beauty, where positively or negatively. And everything is beautiful
Reply:Excuse me saying that 'art is what artists do' is in no way a classification or definition of 'Art' thats like saying that selling is what salesmen do........and there are so many types of salesmen........





Art is about feeling emotion whether it be music-dance-theatre-sculpture-or classical painting...poetry or writing a novel etc.... Then finding a way to share this....





Art is the most wonderful thing that we humans have, a way to express our individuality. If we are desperate to find a way of saying something......


there are so many different forms of art that will express all the emotions ..................





I am frustrated that the class was allowed to get away with such a benign definition.... surely the tutor pushed for more...


if not they are typical of todays tutors...easy option...
