What is Art ?

So many people still think that "Art" is a pretty picture.

 I maintain that  art  can be absolutely anything.

 At its best art should make you think. It's all about how you feel inside when you view it. 

What  emotions and thoughts run through your mind? 

Does  the work make you  feel happy, sad, uneasy, perplexed? 

Do you want to laugh, cry, walk away?

I want to have some understanding of  the artist's emotions at the time they were creating the piece. 

To me, that is art.
