What Is Art?????

            What is art? Million year old question, millions of different answers. Wouldn’t you think that the same question asked a million times would have the same answer? Like asking the color of dirt, one way or another it the answer will be similar. But asking what art is, it is like asking different people what they are thinking, you will never get the exact same answer. So is art thinking? Is it movement? Is it enjoyment? The essence of beauty? The contrast of colors? The movment of shapes and lines interacting as one? The power of shadows and volume? Is it the power of the artist?  The expression of the soul? The choice to be different? An idea that pops into a mind and has a need and thirst to escape and be shown? A collection of thoughts to express feelings? Is it the solid form of your soul? So you ask me what art is. Actually I have no idea, you tell me.
