I think that when someone creates something with the intention of it to be something meaningful then that is what art is. "Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment"(Claude Monet). If you create something from within and it isn't just a sudden impulse with no feeling or meaning behind it then you can call it true art. When someone throws a blue drop of paint onto a canvas just to be able to say 'I made art,' it is not art. "...There are not only more people collecting, there are more people collecting for the wrong reasons, basically as the latest get rich quick scheme. They buy art like lottery tickets"(Mary Boone). I think that some people today like to say anything and everything is art in order to gain something for themselves: art is a God given gift. I don't think its who decides what art is but how we decide how we decide what art is. Art is not a pointless project you do for social credit or money but an expression of emotion.
