What do you guys consider art?  I'm asking in both the general sense and in the sense of what you could consider artful enough to be here are renderosity.  Technically the word art means skill.  So an artist is someone with skill.  However skill alone might not be something for renderosity. 

For example criticizing things is a form of art, but would you put a criticism up in the galleries?  Changing tires is a skill of sorts, however if someone posted a video of the perfect way to change a tire, would you consider that a piece of art?  I once had to read Civil Disobedience for a lit class.  Now because Thoreau was a master of writing, that would be considered a work of art.  However if someone wrote a political piece today, the likelihood of them being a contemporary of Thoreau is not very likely so would it be accurate to say that such a thing is not art?  Then there is that "modern" art junk which I have no idea on how to classify.  Would a white dot on a black background be considered art?  Then there are things where elephants paint with a brush or a dog chews randomly on colored paper.  Would those be considered art?

WARK!
