Sometimes it's both. Quite literally.
JCC: Yup. Pretty much.
The thing about art is that it's so muddled and subjective. How does one define art? One defines it based on other principles and views that one holds. Usually I don't think about what I think art actually is, which is largely why I'm not exactly clear on it myself. I just do my best to make art that I hope can be judged as "most excellent" by the standards I ascribe to (I've yet to achieve "most excellent," or even "great," I think, but I still try).
That's part of the attraction of it to me, is the subjectivity of it. If there was a right and wrong answer to art, then it wouldn't be art. It would be math.
I think that anyone can be a good artist IF they put forth the time and dedication required. But most people don't (I don't, in some areas that I should, like lifedrawing).
