What is Art?

   The portrait of Stephen Colbert is art. As we view pieces of art work it is important to understand what classifies something done by someone and if it is called art. Every culture or generation has a preconceived idea about what art is. This is because of the influential education and experience at a developmental stage in their life. The big thing is all cultures or even generations within a culture don't think exactly the same, so art in one culture may not be art to another culture. So art can't be determined be a culture. Art is any type of human expression. This is the simple definition of art without any influence from peoples bias. And so with this definition Stephen Colbert's portrait is art.
