Can art be really defined in mere words?

Yes simple art is any thing that reflects ceativity of individuals. Or for humor its anything that is not a science or classified as different stream by humans.

Can we gauge art objectively or will it be a matter of subjective taste?

Matter of subjective taste. Objectivity attached to arts is nothing but humanly enforced.

What is art to you and what do you consider art?

Any thing ceative that comes from subconscience for the fist time, when already there is no humanly defined word for it. For eg. Painting/Painters... thats arts... infrastucture is arts.

Singers, actors, musicians, dancers - are they artists?

Absolutely, they all practise arts.

Nowadays we use art in a broader perspective like tattoo artist, design artist. How broad can we stretch the definition of art?

No Limit.
What about terms like con artist, escape artist - can art be used to define crime?

Its a creation not known otherwise, yes!

Is there an art and science to everything, or are some things limited to art and others to more mechanical ways?

First at then science. Similar to first talent then skill.

Recently I got into a debate with some people on what art is. I considered singing as an art form, while others did not. There is a school of thought that defines art only from a creation aspect. A person is an artist when they are creating something like sketching, painting, sculpture or composing. Singers, musicians, actors are not artists but presenting someone else work of art. There is another school of thought which goes towards a more popular definition of art, anything that requires talent, training and skill is considered an art form.

Can art be really defined in mere words? yes.. art is creating something, be it a poetry, painting. singing and acting is performing art...
Can we gauge art objectively or will it be a matter of subjective taste? However vague if many people tend to appreciate something the art has to have something objective...
What is art to you and what do you consider art? Its expression of imagination and innovation
Singers, actors, musicians, dancers - are they artists? yes but only performing art or depicting arts not creative art forms...
Nowadays we use art in a broader perspective like tattoo artist, design artist. How broad can we stretch the definition of art?...If you can control the frequency of farts thats performing art so is making arm-pit rhythms...😆
What about terms like con artist, escape artist - can art be used to define crime?Negative art forms dont constitute art just as negative values however skillful or creative are never emphasized...😊
Is there an art and science to everything, or are some things limited to art and others to more mechanical ways?Art and science are diametrically opposite perspectives where science depicts a more objective truth, art merely gives a subjective expressions...😊

Can art be really defined in mere words? Yes, I think art means a creative way of expressing our ideas...Now a days we people Practicing Art of Living too....😳

Can we gauge art objectively or will it be a matter of subjective taste?

Some time people not able to enjoy the things or they not try to understand the creativity....I believe nature itself a art form ...

What is art to you and what do you consider art? Nature....

Singers, actors, musicians, dancers - are they artists? Cooking,house keeping like that things also a art form....everyone perform diff way..

Nowadays we use art in a broader perspective like tattoo artist, design artist. How broad can we stretch the definition of art?...

No, Art being the expression of imagination ,inspiration etc, is connected to one way or another one's sense of aesthetics, which itself a very large, on some aspects, vague term encompasses the sense of pleasure which could be achieved by imagination or inspiration

Can we gauge art objectively or will it be a matter of subjective taste?

In true sense we can't but our collective moral standards as society bring objectivity in it .

What is art to you and what do you consider art?

Expression of imagination /inspirations which can satisfy my sense of aesthetics .

Singers, actors, musicians, dancers - are they artists?

Yes they are. they convey a form of creativity with their own style ..even they have a role in the whole creative process.

Nowadays we use art in a broader perspective like tattoo artist, design artist. How broad can we stretch the definition of art?

You can stretch it as far as you can 😆

What about terms like con artist, escape artist - can art be used to define crime?

here is the limit where we have to put our moral values on top of this *creative *process😆.

Is there an art and science to everything, or are some things limited to art and others to more mechanical ways?

Science is itself a kind of art 😊
