Theory of Knowledge: What is art?



What is art?

It's that question that often preoccupies me, not just in viewing all sorts of artwork in front of me, but also in creating whatever sort of art catches my fancy.

In this mini-lecture, the speaker identifies three aspects or parameters of what is art:

(1) The intentionality of the artist
(2) The quality of the art, the skill of the artist
(3) The response of the audience

It's a thoughtful, engaging little lecture, one where the speaker offers his viewpoints to us yet also asks us numerous questions.
