How do you define art???

There is a lot of discussion throughout history in the art world about how to define art. Arther Danto, an art critic and philosopher, says the definition of art changes and is defined by the "art world" (I am paraphrasing.). I'm not sure I agree with that. It leaves out too many people. Art affects all walks of life, whether they are involved in the "art world" or not.
I believe art is defined by its creator's intentions. If a being is acting with the intention of creative expression, that being is creating art.

  1. Someone once said to so and so: “you should get mental help then if you actually think someone is out there listening to you "pray"” I say to YOU: Maybe prayer brings out the best in a person praying? You know why people do not study literature to understand it? Because you can not argue with or manipulate a book. Can Truth be a reality? There is a cause and reason for absolutely everything seen and unseen. Peace to those whom know how to sow it, reap it, and pay it forward everlasting happier ever after ; ) I do not play Games , i live life objectively to make the best of it - by being the best i can be for humanity. You can not manipulate the wise. I wish you all wellness and peace. Its up to you. To Be the best you can be for humanity is the way you earn true dignity and respect. Respect does not grow on trees, neither does peace and prosperity combined, each grows only from the spirits will to serve humanity well. What is your spirit? What is your will? What is your reason? Is it Truth and Love? If you agree, copy and paste. Love the world it will love you back! sow/reap. Whom is the creator of Life and Peace?
    Reconcile and live by Love for love and the world will know heaven.
