Monica: What is Art?

Art is a pleasant arrangement of matter: colors on a canvas, metal in a sculpture, makeup, clothing and jewelry on the human body, sound waves into a song, words on a paper, etc. It can be intentional or it can be accidental and/or natural. As long as it pleases the creator and/or an audience, it can be considered art. It is open to interpretation and often means different things to different people. It is impossible to devalue a work of art. It is also impossible to tell someone that their interpretation of it is wrong, for even if he interprets the work differently than the creator intended he has still found personal value and meaning through it.
