What is Art?

'A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.'
~ Albert Camus


Art is expression. It is emotion put into worts, images or sounds. Art is what shows everyone else how you see the world. It is opinion and it is not right or wrong, it simply is. Art is whatever you want it to be (that's cliche, I know, but it's very true). It exposes your thoughts and feelings, a reflection of your mind.


There are different types of art, pictures, paintings, music, video, anything can be an art. It's only limited by your imagination. Sure, there's a bunch of principles like Color and texture and Shape and Line, but those are just the building blocks. those building blocks teach you the rules of art, but it's only when you start breaking them that real art is made.
