Art is...

A way of expressing your own feelings about whatever subject you work with, in whatever medium you work in. Sculpture, painting, writing, music, dancing, acting, cooking... these are only a FEW examples of possible ways that art can be expressed. The value of a work of art lies in whether other people, observing it and/or interacting with it can comprehend it, at least in part. A good artist changes the people who observe his or her work, preferably for the better. Good art does not need to be explained, it simply IS, on its own, entire.

I consider myself several sorts of artist. I write, I cook, I dance. I am envious of people who can, with a few strokes of pen or pencil create an image that seems ready to step off the page, or those who can take a tube with holes drilled in it or a collection of strings stretched between pegs and make beautiful and evocative sounds with them.

And there I thought it would be about another Art

Yeah, I've been wondering why everyone is assuming she's NOT talking about some great guy named Art.

Either way, I'll take a stab:

Art is an expression for that which words cannot describe... it is a glimpse into another's soul, viewed through the prism of your own.

I understand completely OP. No matter how disheartened I become about the state of the world, seeing a beautiful piece of art makes me realize that humans aren't so bad.
