What is art?

When you wake up and get dressed what are you doing? Yes, you are correct you are getting dressed, but you are also creating art. You are creating art through the different combinations of clothing you put together. When you go to your kitchen and make breakfast you are creating art. If you look around you you might notice the little patterns engraved into the wall and the different designs. This is called Art. Art is described in various ways. One way art is described as is art is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. It is also described as a skill at doing a specified thing, typically one acquired through practice. I agree that art is a skill that can be learned and expressed through many ways for many reasons. Art is also an escape from this world and into another where you find yourself at peace. Art is beneficial for so many reasons. It helps the artist express themselves in any way they want. Sometimes all we need when we're not feeling good is to let go of those feelings and get them out instead of burying them deep inside us and art allows you to do just that. Art is also fun to make because there are no rules or formulas you need to follow. In fact with art there are endless of things you can do. Equally important, art allows us to see into the past and get a sense of how people in the past thought or what they believed in. I know that now and I wished I knew that back then because I spent so much time looking at art and not really looking into it. I find art to be interesting to observe and fun to do, but what does art mean to you?
