Google Search: Art - Google Images - Results: "Street Art," "Paintings Art Famous," "The Word Art," "Famous Art," "Art Supplies," "Abstract Art." How can one word produce such a variety of results? This only further complicates my quest to define Art. Of course, I could always cheat and look up Merriam Webster's definition: "something that is created with imagination and skill and that is beautiful or that expresses important ideas or feelings." Okay, I must say I don't completely agree with that. I believe art in many ways, can be ugly. It can define or represent something ugly, or aesthetically look ugly to the audience. It also does not, necessarily, have to come from skill. Anyone can create any type of art. Such as the above work created by a two-year-old child.
But I will not deny that art can be beautiful and come from skill. Art is all of these things because art has no true definition. The definition is as original and variant as every mind on this planet. Art is defined by both the creator and the audience. In my personal opinion, Art is any creation of human process or the process itself. Among common art such as writing, painting, drawing, sculpting, photography, film, dance and music, I believe things like speaking your mind and giving birth are examples of art.In my opinion, art is the most diverse and universal form of expression. It can trigger an emotional response and connect with anyone without the use of words. Art is its own language, as it creates a bridge of human understanding.
