    Haha. I've just read all this post and so far seem more confused about what IS art, rather than what is not.

    What about taking photos of sub atomic particles? Is that art? It's only a photo. Maybe eventually we'll all be able to do that at some point? What makes that art or not?

    • I mean, where does the art/science crossover take place?Ianbolton

    • Taking photos of sub atomic particles is not art.ORAZAL
    • is it a skill? At what point does a skill not become an art?Ianbolton
    • A skil is not an art [sic] by definition, so there is no point at which it doesn't become one.ORAZAL
    • Fair point. So when people say the art of science what do they mean? I'm sitting on the fence here.Ianbolton
    • A word can have several meanings. I think it's clear to all what kind of art pango was refering to. I hate the expression but he meant "Art with a capital A".ORAZAL
    • He is not talking about martial arts or the art of science.ORAZAL
    • Fair enough. I think people still tend to get confused with all that, but I know what you mean.Ianbolton
