Martian and I have been PMing back and forth about Art's place in society (basically). What art is in general. And I'm wondering what you define Art as. In your own words, what is art? And please refrain from quoting someone and saying "seconded" or "ditto" or what have you. Find your own words and use em'.

ME:

Art is expression with the purpose of inciting future interpretation, critical thought, and, at times, performance/performance evalutation. It is a form and works as such; a set of basic fundamentals and lines in which we can define a form. Within the very basic definition of said form, it is Art's intention to explore humanity and further it's understand of itself. It's creation can be a personal journey or defined by reception. It's definition and the right to change that definition, like anything else, belongs to those educated in the field.

Discuss.
