My thoughts exactly.

A child's drawings are considered art because that's the way they see the world. They know a humorous person, they will draw them in a humorous way. And as you grow, you continue to do this. This is where talent is devloped.

If you have a talent for art, then it will be more visually appealing then someone who does not. However, if the talented one is expressing themselves, and the non-talented one does the same, I consider both art.

That being said, I think there is a difference in "art" and "a work of art". A work of art is based more on visual asthetics then anything, while art itself is a form of self-expression.
