There is no agreed upon general definition of art.  Some say that art is in the “eye of the beholder”.  If that theory holds true then, anything that can be seen by the eye, is art.  My favorite definition is that any skill which has been created by time spent in study, practice and observation, such as culinary art, or photography, is truly art.  If you expand on that definition and say that art is a conscious arrangement of color, sound, movements and other elements, then you give a space to art forms like ballet, movie making, acting, and recitation of original work.  It seems to me that to define art is to intellectualize yourself into a stupor because the definition could be reworked, redefined and restated ad infinitum.
