again people defining art.  get 2 people in a room and get 3 definitions.
so here's another one.
come on guys, anything that is skilled or unskilled in its application should be considered art.  even crayon taken to paper by a 2 year old says something of the creator of the image and the person looking at it.  always will it be taken in 10,000 different ways.  a recreation of an auto accident in 3d is still art.  painting the wall of a building just a single color is an art.  art is all around us, from the clothes people are wearing day to day to the food they consume from even fast food chains. 
and who knows what emotion your art will provoke?  it will be different.  i hear the snorts of contempt from those in the community who see me saying fast food is art.  i also hear (though fewer i am sure) the agreement from those who know how fast food is designed by committees, entrepreneurs, and commercial artists, and how the making of the food, in seeking an ideal look and taste, and is in fact even in the tradition of the more respected food arts, is pursuit and creation of art.
art is expression of a person, and perception of a person.  it can even be expression in the choice of "plain and simple and uncomplicated" as well as "sophisticated, complex, and multifaceted." 
even the writing we are doing here is art.
when people poo poo some kind of art, i suspect a sense of prejudice on their part, whether from education or lack thereof, or political or religious or social leanings. 
you should check out yoko ono or stuff like that some times.  i feel she makes everything seem like art.

ps.  it's like kung fu.  kung fu actually means work over time.  a pursuit of an idea.  the pursuit itself is art, as much as the successful attainment of the art, and the individuals take on it.

go that way really fast.
if something gets in your way
