We think of many things as being artistic but are they all art?
So, can we discuss art without having a clear definition of what it is?Certainly, I’m doing it now. Think of all the opinions you've heard and consider how many other diverse views there must be - then try to fashion one that works for you. This is the fun part.

As I swung open its flimsy doors, it unveiled to me an astoundingly fantastical realm hidden within its tiny confinements.
