In short i guess Art to me is anything, because through my eyes anything has meaning/reason/creativity etc. and that to me is Art.

Yeah same, I was going to write my essay on it, but I thought I'd confuse and contradict myself too much so I decided to write about feminist artists instead xD

I think art is basically any form of creative self expression of thoughts/ideas, feelings, etc.

In my opinion, art, yes is a way of personal expression, but it does require talent from the artist, which does not imply perfection or beauty, but it sure requires hard work. It's a way to show what you can do, that's why the most renown artists always strive for the masterpiece, refining their skills along the way.

Now it should be obious my position about AMVs.

Art is whatever you want it to be. I don't think it should be defined any further than that.

For me, ART is an expression of yourself using anything other than words.
(Singing is an exception, and the like)

EX. Drawing, Painting, Graffiti, Clothing, Dance,
Artistic Sports (Gymnastics), Acts of Strength (Hand Balancing) ,
Flexibility, Murals, Photography, Modeling, etc.

It's a wide category, but that's what I see.
And from a previous thread :

I think Geisha's are a form of Art as well.
