What is ART - by Chloe (14yr. old Canadian)

Art is any expression of emotion
Be it a sport, music, writing, drama, drawing or other
If you use it to express anything
Be it feelings, facts or imagination
It is art.

                         This is a poem I wrote. So, what is art? It can be whatever you want. Many people think of art as just drawing or painting or music. They don't really see that art is all around them. They don't see that what they do every day is art. If you have something to express, get out, anger, facts, imagination, silliness, happiness, ANYTHING it is art. Art is not a talent we have, it's something we are born with. Many people have different levels of art in them. Many people don't see the point of art but they don't see true art. That doesn't nessisarily mean they have low levels of art in them, they just don't know how to use it. So what is art? Art can be anything you need it to be and more.
