Something that can resonate with me on an emotional level.

Art is hard to describe. I know I'll be hated for this... but this is not art...






This is throwing paint at a wall or dripping it on a table. I have thrown up combinations of colors that look more creative than stuff like this. Hell, even elephants can do better...

I don't think art is at all about who can do "better."

Anyway, to me art is anything that evokes feeling in someone.  The skill level, intentions, or even existence of the artist behind it are entirely irrelevant in defining it.

Art is my cousin. He lives in Texas and enjoys getting so drunk he can't speak. His dad, Gary, drives a truck and thinks he has bugs on him that don't really exist. He takes medicine for it and I guess it helps a little. But I'm getting way off topic. Art is a cool guy. Likes outlaw country and classic metal. I should go down to Texas and visit him some time soon.

For it to be "art", it has to make my penis wiggle.

Metaphorically.

Or literally.

Depending on what we're talking about.
