what is art?

What is Art? Art cannot be defined simply, there has been numerous definitions offered throughout the decades but it is if I may, impossible to pin point one that define art perfectly because it is so broad. If I had to define all that art is will probably exceed an essay, but a book will do just fine. Since we cannot cover all that art is in one essay, we will cover the main ideas about it. Paintings, photography, architecture, and sculptures, they are the basics of art, and then there are others that define some as art, and some will reject those as art. Such as personal art, in which they might mean an infinite amount personally, but it may only be something very common to the critiques of others. Art is a personal definition
All that art is may not always be art. For example, art is freedom of expression, it brings joy, sadness, and it takes a person though the emotion of the artist. It creates clarity and confusion but clarity and confusion is not art. Art is an escape but escape is not art. Art is creativity but creativity is not art.
Art can make you smile and laugh, one of my favorite artists named Romero Britto gives me great joy when I see his art, it’s colorful and not everyone can do, the creative ways in which he uses lines, color, etc. His art has purposes; they are displayed in children’s hospitals. Art is meaningful.
Some art takes you to a certain place or time, whether you’ve been there before or not. Art can be a memory, whether it is a happy or sad one, it makes you remember the emotion you were in while you created the certain piece or it might help you understand the emotion of the artist, the things they were going through and their thoughts. Art is nostalgic.
Art helps you get through painful times and in the pain raises brilliant works. One can very well argue that those are the only good that comes out of tragedy, art includes experience and an individual can confine in art while they have no one else to confine
