I feel that it can not be defined. Art can be anything to anyone and who is to say they are wrong.
One of my brothers recently got married and his wife is an "art snob" (sorry for using that term, but she is in art school and seems to think art is only a certain thing. Aparently almost every art student there has been brainwashed by this). My other brother is in video game design and he is an absolutely amazing concept artist. My sister in law doesn't feel that it is art and is not afraid to voice how she feels that what the concept ARTIST does is simply designs. If you could see the hurt in his eyes you would know how much what he does means to him, that makes it the most beautiful art of all, it has profound meaning to the person who created it. I have no idea where I am going with this, but art can not be disproven and I feel it is wrong and hurtful to say that someones drawing or what-have-you is not art.
