How would you define art? - Darth-Apple - August 17th, 2013
Art is certainly a very vast field in the grand scheme of all things. It is natural for mankind to want to create something, but as for what gets created, that's a pretty vast "field of study" if you want to put it that way.
There are many things that one would immediately recognize as "art," such as architecture, paintings, graphics design, music, you name it. However, many would consider a bunch of spilled paint cans on a driveway to also be "art" despite the fact that it looks like a big mess more than anything else.

the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.
