What constitutes a piece of art? Like, most of us can agree that a painting, a sculpture, a photograph, and a piece of music are all obviously forms of art. However, I, along with others, also consider performance, video games, and food to be art. So what does it mean for something to be art? Should it meet certain objective requirements, or is it all about how the viewer perceives it? Some consider art in terms of effort, that the more skill or time that went into a painting, the more worthy of the title of "art" it is. While this is a quality present in older arts, such as the Mona Lisa or the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, it is less obviously present in more contemporary art. Sure, There are still insanely skillful pieces of art in the modern day, such as Cao Hui's recreation of Michelangelo's David, but with its stony exterior filled with uncomfortably anatomical viscera, but art on the more abstract side, like Mark Rothko's Black on Maroon sometimes gets...
