Is it Art?

"Is it Art?"

             The definition of art is an expression or display of creative skill or imagination.  The picture that we looked at can be classified as art or not a piece of art based on what your definition of art is.  I personally believe the picture is art. For one, the picture was created by an artist in the first place.  Also, the image attracts the eye which can go with art.  Along with pleasing the eye the photograph is an expression of a creative skill that the artist possesses. The piece also withdraws emotion from the "viewer".  You can either be shocked, impressed, etc. while looking at the picture.  Filling up space is important when it comes to art.  This piece immediately attracts your eye and takes up space on the canvas.  As you can see, this photograph is a piece of art.
