I once read that art is anything you can get away with.
I think art is something, anything, that you express yourself through.
Something that is showing meaning.
When I see a painting of a bowl of fruit, I get a little dissapointed. You have the ability. You obviously like art, you want it, you need it, so let's make it say something. I can't help but think that the bowl of fruit has some hidden message, some power in the colors, or the reason they made that picture.
I'll ask someone what it is, they'll say it's just a bowl of fruit.
I'll tell them there is no such thing as just a bowl of fruit.
Art is anything you can get away with. Art comes from inside, comes from the depths of your soul, and it has a message, it has meaning.
Art is you.
So, since people right now don't have many things that aren't heard, on the spot, I'll give them a topic.
What is art?

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.
