art is something that comes from the heart. you cant just be asked to make something. i dont think art is something you think about alot. it just comes to you. art is something that is apart of you.

hey, if you want I could post an essay I wrote about this very topic basically, it's only 1000 words or so so it's not unbearably long of a read - if you want to use it, just ask me to post it, and I'll do so, and I'll let you quote whatever you want from it.

On a most basic definition, art is an interpretive and intentional form of self-expression. To say art is interpretive is to imply that the audience of a work of art is able to receive something from the piece of art, be it emotionally, intellectually, or spiritually. The audience is affected by the work in a stimulating way that can be extremely individualized. That is, art must be able to provide its audience (or viewer) with the ability to draw from it something significant to each person. Two people may look at Munch’s The Scream and take from it two very different aspects.

Every person will be impacted differently by art, and this impact turns into the basis of such a judgment. This judgment is highly personal and will vary form person to person. Being educated in the field of the specific art will allow the person to be more precisely able to judge the quality of art. It is interesting to note, though, that consensus among the art community can create a persuasive force into whether or not a piece is good or bad that is then followed by individuals more or less generally. That is, if the art community unanimously praises a piece that strikes many individuals as not high quality, the individuals may begin to question their own judgment in light of the community’s declaration. There is an undeniable tendency to conform to the larger group, particularly when one
