What is Art?

Art is everywhere, and is everything. We live in a world where everything has been made, a painting is painted, as a building is built and a photograph is photographed. Though nature runs at its own accord it is still art, it creates forms and visually interesting views, it has an ending, and it has a beginning and leads on to new things, does this make art?
A visually exciting appearance, an ending, a beginning and a lead on to newer and better things?The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power
Creative activity resulting in the production of paintings, drawings, or sculpture.The various branches of creative activity, such as painting, music, literature, and dance. The visual arts the art of photography are all kinds of art and are creativity in an art way.
Subjects of study primarily concerned with the processes and products of human creativity and social life, such as languages, literature, and history (as contrasted with scientific or technical subjects). A skill at doing a specified thing, typically one acquired through practice the art of conversation.

The products of human creativity; works of art collectively; "an art exhibition"; "a fine collection of art". The creation of beautiful or significant things; "art does not need to be innovative to be good"; "I was never any good at art"; "he said that architecture is the art of wasting space beautifully".  The art form is a superior skill that you can learn by study and practice and observation; "the art of conversation"; "it's quite an art".

The most things in particular in which I like about Tom Hunter are that he is just like me he has come from east London and very street life and most all this is what you mainly see within his work, you see a lot of strong elements these are the street and objects on the streets to make a great picture. The lighting within his images are mainly natural lighting.
