What is Art?

What is art? Many people argue over the answer to this question. There are several different interpretations as to what is considered to be a work of art. There are also many different types of artwork. Some believe that anything and everything in the world is art, while others believe that it takes talent, creativity, and a preconceived vision to produce true art. I believe that no specific, definite, or concise definition of art exists.
Art can be a reflection of one’s idea brought into the world through painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, architecture, and many other ways. Art has been called works of exceptional physical beauty (Stokstad 25). Jillian Treacy said, “Art doesn’t have to be beautiful because everyone’s idea of beautiful is different, not all ideas are beautifully pleasing to the eye, and not all art is meant to be pretty.” Beauty means something different to everyone, and cannot be defined, therefore art cannot be defined.
