What is Art? - second response

Please take a minute to decide "What is Art?" to you and respond by posting your response on this discussion board.  Three to Five complete sentences about what you think Art is.
Be sure to be respectful and appropriate - this should be honest and positive (please try to be unique - do not repeat the same answer that another student responds).

Due Date:  Thursday 1/31/13                                                                             Total Points: 15 points

For example:
[Linenkugel]  I think that Art is a way of expressing yourself, your thoughts, beliefs and opinions.  What is Art to one person is not necessarily art to another.  "To each his own" is a well known quote that I would say is something to keep in mind while discussing and looking at various types of art.  I love a variety of art and find that there are some types that I understand more than others.  Keeping in mind that some art is functional, some is purely decorative and some is influential towards/against a specific topic.  I feel that there is a very important place for Art in all of our lives and as to what extent that happens is up to the individual.  I wish to expose all of my students to a wide variety of different types of artists and artworks.  I hope that all of my students will find at least one that they are drawn to and appreciate.  I also hope to inspire even the unmotivated to create their own art and at least allow the experience of creating to happen.
The process is just as important as the finished product.  The finished product should reflect the creativity, personality, ability and effort from the student.  [15 points = b/c the answer is at least 3-5 complete sentences, that include honesty and are respectful, appropriate answers]
