Is it Art?

Is it Art?

I would describe this picture as art because many articles define art as "anything an artist has created". An artist must have created and made the photo shown, so therefore this is art. 

Another reason this photo is art is because it is eye pleasing. Many people describe art as a piece of work that pleases the eye. 

"Art is an expression of creative skill" is a dictionary definition of art. This photo clearly shows creative skill and is expressed through a man and his mouth. This photo creates emotion and creating emotion is another reason a piece may be art. 

Art is work that takes up space, and sometimes in a beautiful way. The photo takes up almost all the space in the photo; the background has color to provide emotion among the man and his expression. 

Since the work follows all these guidelines, it must be art.
