Definition of art

the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.

You telling me that you can't express yourself through writing? Writing takes most of what defines art in terms of using creativity and imagination and turning it into something physical, much like painting and sculpting.

Is blogging an art? In that case, we're all artists

No, writing is an art. It's about painting a picture in your mind with words. It's probably the hardest form of art.

I actually do it for a living. Can I not consider at an art because I do it for a living?

Yes, because you're using your creativity and imagination to paint a picture in the minds of other people. Writing books is an art, writing poetry is an art.

I'm not saying writing isn't an art, I just wanted to clarify that all of us are artists since we blog. This Is Art.

Maybe there should be a separate word for someone who just makes chairs, I call them craftsmen

But there's technically not and I feel like my original post was clear enough as to what I was referring to

Art is subjective.

I don't give a **** about how sarcasm doesn't translate well to online. You're all ****ing stupid.

The best bands I can think of played music because they would just explode if they didn't express themselves and/or they were too ****ed up to keep a job

most of them started with nothing and then went home with nothing

See: Velvet Underground

Even the greats aren't immune. I know you don't like metal, but it's my bag so I know more about it than other genres so **** you. Anyway, Slayer made five classic albums in a row (plus a classic EP) and have maintained at least a moderate level of quality ever since. Yet you hear stories and read articles about the drummer getting fired cause he found out that Kerry King has been short changing the rest of the band financially, and their guitarist and semi-main songwriter dies but the band continue on with only two original members, cause what the **** are Slayer gonna do if they decide to go the honest route and disband?

Kerry King probably has all the job qualifications that I do: a high school education, sketchy work experience, and a general lack of giving a **** about maintaining a presentable appearance by society's standards. Kerry King and I could equally compete for the same McDonald's job.
