I believe that art is everything basically. Art  is a lot like life only a little bit more descriptive. It shows us how things are made how things look and how we compare thing to everything else. When we paint something we always try to copy something we see and make it even better only that it sometimes it doesn't look as good thou. Sometimes art comes from how it sounds like music, music is like tel;ling a story that sang by angles only that some of them are good and some aren't. Also for example 9/11 this terrible;e event happened a lot of people started making art. Like for example Bruce Springsteen (for more info http://www.brucespringsteen.net/news/index.html)who made lots of music involving lots of music, like Into The Fire which was a song written about 9/11 which was describing someone who he lost in 9//1.My cites of ruins is a great example of the 9/11 arhttp://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1587t. Also in the photographer it told of person jumping off of a building during 9/11. Which she also won a noble peace prize for her literature. Here is is a link on the photographer
