Philosophy of Art; what is it? Such a seemingly simple question, yet has a large spectrum of answers. Art probably has a dictionary definition on google, but it never had crossed my mine to ever look it up. Like most people, I believe when you hear the word art the definition pops into your head instantly. No one really takes the time to define it, they just see something someone once labeled to them as art. Its like asking why we have the alphabet, and what the letters are, and who was like these are all we need. They just are, there isn't real good explanation.
What is art to me? Art isn't a picture, or a painting, or a sculpture. To me it is something that conveys and idea or feeling or tells a story, when looked at. Art is something that makes me stop and take a moment to enjoy and interpret it. Art is something that speaks without actual talking. Art is the ability to share your thoughts, feelings, ideas, and stories with others through a creative outlet. Art allows you to express yourself without fear of what other people think. Art is more than what I can begin to think of. Ask me again at the end of the year I'm sure a lot will have changed.

I really love that you put that the definition of art is undefinable. That it’s dependent on who believes what the definition is. That’s the same philosophy that I have for art. That it’s a way to express feelings or emotions without actually saying it vocally. Well done.
