Jason - "What is Art?"

Art is anything that is motivated/constructed/inspired by an idea. Two cool things about this definition: 1.) It's general, so a lot of fun things get to be considered art (like can openers, fire trucks, cassettes, mustaches) and 2.) It creates a good way to answer the question "what is good art?" by rephrasing it as "what's the idea behind this piece, and how strong or unique or unfathomable is this idea?"
