What is art?

I believe art is something that someone takes the time to make up. I think that art can be just about anything from keys on a stool to The Mona Lisa. In our discussion in class Keilani had brought uo that she thought art had to have some sort of meaning behind what the art was. Honestly, i dont think there needs to be any meaning behind a piece of art. We also had talked about in our discussion in class today that if people are on drugs do they make art to? Well i think that they do without realizing that they have made it and I think that that would lead to art not having a meaning behind it. A person who is high may not neccassarily know what they are doing at the time of there art making experiance so of course there would be no meaning behind it beacuse they would be high. So i disagree with keilani when she stated that art had to have a meaning behind it in order for it to be art. All art does not have to have a meaning behind it. For example, I think that there are a lot of singers like Bob Marley and The beatles who did drugs that may not have "realized" that they were making art when they were singing and making music but it ended up being a form of art. Does it have a "meaning" behind it? Not neccassarily!!!!
That is what i think of when i have to explain art.
