I was wondering how other people define art or what they believe it to be.

Art is anything that shows your opinion, thoughts, feelings, ect.

KaZZle what you just said was very stupid. Sure crime can be considered an art by some people, but not me though. Also cops don't like crime because its an art? Cops don't like crime because it's bad and against the law, not because it's an art.

Also to keep to the topic I define art as something that expresses yourself, like Kurgle said, but in a certain form that is appealing to the eye.

i agree with Kurgitle. it is what you want it to be. it can range from math equations to poems to drawing. it doesn't matter what others think, it is what you think

OHNO the terrible Symbols of Doom that will destroy the world and all non rational things like creativity and expression...ARRGHH! art cannot have rules. law. and order it must be chaotic and free expressing nature and emotions, such as "I am bored with math I'm gonna draw something..."

Something with measures of both meaning and (gasp) aesthetic appeal. I'm such a Philistine.

Sometimes art can have no meaning to it and its just there....I have drawn stuff that I completely forget why I did it but hey a line to you viewing this screen is a collection of pixels...or a line on paper is a arrangement of molecules sticking together, molecules made of some energy that is still trying to be found...yet when we get close to it it falls even further away...so no meaning to it yet...

Anything that defines you...whatever way you express yourself can be considered an art.
