1 - Hadley: What is art?

Art is a person's projection of thoughts or ideas that can be perceived by each viewer differently. It is not always well-defined, and does not necessarily have attached meaning, but rather allows for diverse interpretations. Art requires creativity and an unbigoted outlook. It can manifest itself in unlimited ways, including poetry, film, graphic design, photography, painting, and the list goes on. Because of its basis in individual expression, it does not exclude the seemingly naive creations of children. Furthermore, it does not require any specific skills or perspicacity, just an open, uninhibited desire to express and to create.
