Descriptive

Art is descriptive, the artist intends to convey a meaning to the observer. Whether or not the observer receives the same message as the artist intended is questionable. For numerous classes we have been trying to define "art" but this is something that I think can't be defined. Art is something that is broad and can't be defined, but rather just something that is judged based on a more visual aspect. So therefore I don't think art can ever be defined, but I don't think it is meant to be because it is something that is meant to make us think. We are meant to go outside of our comfort zones and I think that some pieces of art do that. Do you think that art will ever be defined? Or do you think that it should be?
