What is art? Art is emotion in a picture. A good artist expresses their feelings in a frame. Using texture, color, shading, patterns etc, add character to the piece. We all interpret art differently; some people may think it is beautiful while others think it is a food smear. Letting feelings control the artist brushstrokes and different opinions is what makes art.
