I guess there is no complete definition to describe what is Art? Nowadays this word ia being thrown around so much and I guess 100 k things could be and are being called an Art.
If i am not looking at it so specific,then art for me is a state of mind in which something beautiful/meaningful is being born. Being created. That would be my definition. If i could think of any.
Now we all know that for some one thing is meaningful but for someone else ut could be a waste. Which ia why I think Art does not belong to a certain taste, certain group of people or certain opinion. It is different for everyone which makes it even more special. Also every culture is looking at art in a slightly different way.
Through the history it has changed so many times,that I suppose no one can actually say what art is. The only way how we can see it, is by our senses. By our feelings. How impacted we feel and in a which way.
To be a little bit factual I did some research and found out that the word Art itself is related to the latin word:
Ars- art/skill/craft
Of course there are so many ways in todays modern society how to be creative,artistic, that these 3 words are hiding yet almost thousands of themes behind them.
I really wanted to end this post with a quote. A quote i love so much that it fits here more than anything.
Leo Tolstoy:
"Art is a human activity consisting in this,that one man consciously, by means of certain external signs,hangs on to others feelings he has lived through and that others are infected by these feelings and also experience then.
This is one of the best in depth definition of art i know!
