What is Art?

When thinking Art, many things come in mind from drawings, to painting, to photography, or event a beautiful view. What does this show about art? What is Art? Art is something you can see and understand a whole story. It doesn't necessarily have to be man made. I look at the sky in the evening with the sky creating different colors, and I call that Art. I don't think one understands what art truly is if you just limit art to paintings and drawings. That is the very basic form of art. But Art has an even deeper meaning to it. Art isn't perfect, its natural. When a child brings home his/her scribbles from school, the parent might call it art. And it is, because it’s something that came natural to a child, and made it an art piece. When one gets older some are very good at it and some are not. Does that mean one can choose which one is art and which one is not? No. One can pick which is better in their eyes, but all of the pieces are art. In more advanced things like the sky it shows one the power of god and how he made the sky and everything around us that is not man made. This is art showing one the power of God. Art is one's self expression without words. Art doesn't need words. It is not limited to no use of words, but it does not necessarily require words for the piece to be explained. One can see and read a message of art without the words visibly being seen.
