    That's just being ignorant.

    Art is when you express yourself through a media.

    So everything is actually a kind of art.

    Art, to me, is the expression of beauty. but then has to come the definition of beauty, which to my perspective is too complex to be put here.

    To me philosophy is art, cooking is art (taste is included in beauty), etc.

    But the summum of art form life. You have sucky art, and you have art of genius.

    To me art is an extension, in a physical form, of ones own mind. These people who see triangles and squares must have boring minds.

    "And I have felt the sudden blow of a nameless wind's cold breath,
    And watched the grisly pilgrims go that walk the roads of Death,
    And I have seen black valleys gape, abysses in the gloom,
    And I have fought the deathless Ape that guards the Doors of Doom."
    -Robert E. Howard "Recompense"

    In my opinion, art is the expression of ones self and its tributaries through a creative media.
