And the question is answered: What Is Art?

Megan: Anything created from the soul.
Ian: Art is life, emotion, and passion for the things you love. It makes you proud of yourself to see what you have done and nobody can tell you otherwise.
Aid: Anything you want it to be.
Alexis: The way you express yourself. How you see the world in your perspective, and how you feel towards something or someone.
Unknown person from ChaCha: Paper pricking is a fancy name for poking holes in paper. Paper peircing is another term used in art for poking holes. ChaCha! [I REALLY HATE THEM.]
Emmi: Art is a creative way of expressing your feelings, and art is whatever you think it is.
Bob: Art is colors that people try to express themselves with. I don't know, I hate art.
Rayanna: I think art is anything you put your heart into, pretty much. Painting, drawing, music, sculpting, etc.
Maddy: Art is a way of showing how a person is feeling, it's dance, painting, drawing, or anything that makes you feel happy as a person.
Drew: Art is a way to express yourself.
Riana: A way to express yourself and to be creative.
Christian: Art is the creativity in human beings. Music is a form of art. As well as drawing and sculpting. Art can be found anywhere.
Libby: Kind of a way to express your feelings in a creative way.
Matt: Let's see, art is the products of human creativity.
Lily: Something that expresses people's feelings.
Cheyenne: I think art is an artist way of expressing himself or herself and that all art is beautiful. And that without art, life would be boring. So in a way you could say that we would need art to live.
Trevor: Something that makes you feel emotional.
And if you missed it in the comment, here's Firespark: Art is your soul bleeding out, bursting forth, or shimmering from you, for the world to see, or for you alone to examine. It's a physical representation of what we believe or feel or want or fear. Some say that all art already exists; that we only stumble upon it, the stories or pictures or movements, and it is up to us to interpret what we've found, to bring it into this physical realm so that it can be shared and experienced together. Some say that only then, when we take up the charge to interpret for the world, do we become artists. I don't know. But I believe that art can be both personal and outside of ourselves as well. We feel something or learn something, and we want to share. But I think that sometimes we also feel what others feel, and by becoming artists, we become a voice for the world, for all of existence. Art is the elusive and intangible made real.
