what is art anyway?

so i've learned so manythings about art and art history this semester...mostly because of our little portfolio for art history class.. but as our time here comes to a close i wanted to finish with a few of my thoughts about what art actually is..

Art is...
Expressed passion
history
inspiration
someone's inward reflections projected outward
moving
beautiful to someone (in meaning or visual appeal)
emotional (even if the emotion is emotionless)
something to be shared
what it is
buildings
houses
people
clothes
paintings
sculptures
landscapes
performances
skylines
churches
style
lighting on a stage

...I started this not knowing where it would go...but I do not feel like I could ever list all the things art is or could be...and I guess THAT is what I have learned this semester.

We are all tiny pieces of God's aesthetic masterpiece.
