Nice work.

I think art is something that engenders an emotional response. The deeper the emotion, the better the art - if there was to be a comparison, which I don't really think you can do.

for example - the lion you posted here evokes an emotional response - a sense of wonder and majesty, not only in the animal portrayed, but also in the skill used to create the image.

As people have different tastes and desires, different art forms will appeal to different people.

For example, I've been to the ballet and watched a performance. This was the national New Zealand ballet company, so they ere pretty good. I knew two of the dancers, who were in fact my computer programming students.

(they were retraining for a time when they could no longer dance)

While the performance itself did not really touch me, I still felt the beauty and art in their movements, their body control, strength and agility. There was art in the way they performed.

There are these days, many 'art' forms that are simply marketing materials, not designed to engage an audience or promote a sense of wonder, they are designed to sell products and services, or to simply shock - as if that was the only emotion left to tap into.

I think in these cases, they have missed the point.

You however, have not, and I'm very grateful for that. ;-)
