What is Art?

I an taking a digital photography class and loving it. The model of the week was some roses. Thery were very pretty and orange. The best part was that I got some great pictures out of them. This one happens to be my favorite. Then I started to think about the art class that I took at USU.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The instructer went on and on about a piece of canvas painted blue. To me they are lazy painters not wanting to do anything but still get credit,  not art. When I seen this picture I feel a sense of pride because I took this photo. It is not the best, nor will it win any awards, but hey, if a blue painted canvas is considered art, why not this.
