What is art?

Watered down pieces of dirty clay,
Thrown together in an attempt to make
Something beautiful.

Is this art?

Pale and hardened oil paints,
Flicked onto a stained canvas in an attempt to create
Something meaningful.

Is this art?

Screwed up balls of dusty paper,
Pasted together in attempt to invent
Something original.

Is this art?

Her art:

A silver paintbrush tattoos the soft paper,
With deep red ink in an attempt to construct
Something worthwhile.

Art.
