Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Art is the product of human creativity, the creation of beautiful or significant things.

Art is that which is made with the intention of stimulating the human senses as well as the human mind or spirit. As such, something can be deemed art in totality, or as an element of some object. For example, a painting may be a pure art, while a chair, while designed to be sat in, may include artistic elements. Art that has less functional value or intention may be referred as fine art, while objects of artistic merit but serve a functional purpose may be referred to as craft.

Paradoxically, an object may be characterized by the intentions (or lack there of) by its creator, regardless of its apparent purpose; a cup (which ostesibly can be used as a container) may be considered art if intended soley as an ornament, while a painting may be deemed craft if mass-produced.
