a beautiful crime
define what "art" is. it might seem like a cliché exercise but ask yourself "what exactly is art"?
is it or should it be exclusive only to aristocracy and highly-educated, snotty-nosed folk for appreciation?
does art have to be a painting you couldn't decipher but only played along with in pretending like you knew what the hell was all about? is that the yardstick to measure the difference between what good and bad art is?

i'm not an artist, i'm a scientist but i can still appreciate and define what art is to me. art to me is something that i simply like. it can, but doesn't necessarily have to be brilliantly detailed; it can be as basic as a family painting from my 10 year old niece or a ball-pen sketch from my 6 year old nephew. art can be a song i hear on the radio or a 4-verse poem i read engraved into a cubicle at the library. all evoke an emotion and in the above cases, happiness.

can anyone do art? is art anything?
i could piss on a sidewalk or flick my snot on the wall, but that's not necessarily an artform.

art goes beyond self expression.
art is when the artist is able to create an actual connection between the viewer and his or herself. that's art to me.
