I think a spiderweb is art but by many lofty definitions, it would not make the cut. My answer, after years of study in both the fields of art and art history, is that “Art is anything that reflects the mystery of life or the truth of existence”. By this definition, everything is art. Even the last crap you took. I also believe that everyone is an artist and we are always trying to find ways to express ourselves. The trick is to find a way that satisfies you. Now for some, they are not satisfied without commercial success or at least having people say that they like the work. Others are happy not to even show their work to others. I say- express yourself! Write, Draw, Paint, make shapes with shadows in candlelight at dinner, notice the pattern in leaves, wear clothes that match or don’t match… be YOU, you’re the only one who gets that chance, the only one who can create whatever YOU will create- get to it!
