Art can be anything from the purposeful organization of items in nature as in earthworks, to the random spatter patterns of abstract.

While reading “The Trouble with (the Term) Art,” written by Carolyn Dean in the summer of 2006, we are taken through an array of different scenarios that lead us to questions what art really is.
