major_kerinaMy personal definition of art does not include most forms of writing and very few films.
To be art, something must be crafted for the sheer creative impulse of it. Once that is sold as a product to someone else or reproduced for others then it takes on another form, an artistic product. In this sense there can be artistic works of all kinds, books with beautiful aspects, games with thoughtful, evocative themes but ultimately. They are not art. This would encompass films as well by the way. Art direction would play a part in a film but a film is not in turn "art".
A child sketching landscapes and people on a sidewalk in chalk would be considered art by me. Stuff that is created for a human expression is art. Now this could encompass group visions like the work of constructing a particular building in some cases but this territory would be a bit hazier. But I want to recognize group effort creativity.
What I have in mind in particular includes some of the creative, non-art which came out after WW2 and is just chaos, disruption and total destruction of form. A human reaction to terrible lost and a breaking down of old systems. That would be art to me, same as any work which was just done for the creative impulse. Early-stage works would be art, like an indie filmmaker creating stories with a family camera and his brothers. That's a creative impulse.
