Thinking..

My last blog got me to thinking; What exactly is art?

There have been a great many artists.. so let's see what they have to say:

"The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection."
-Michelangelo

"At moments of great enthusiasm it seems to me that no one in the world has ever made something this beautiful and important."
-M.C.Escher

"A sincere artist is not one who makes a faithful attempt to put on to canvas what is in front of him, but one who tries to create something which is, in itself, a living thing."
-William Dobell

"All that I desire to point out is the general principle that life imitates art far more than art imitates life. "
-Oscar Wilde

So what do YOU think art is?

Personally, I see art almost exactly as the definition Google gave me: the products of human creativity

Art is any creative endeavor you choose. It can be obvious like a painting or sculpture, or less obvious like a piece of jewelry. Maybe you choose words, like a poem, story, or song. Sometimes notes and rhythms are your way. Art is whatever you chose it to be. You define art in your own way. You decide what you perceive to be art.

Not to mention, anyone can be an artist.
