My Definition of Art

The definition of art is in the eye of the beholder.
Art to me is beauty. A pleasant sight to the eye or sound to the ear.
Classical music, a chair in the shape of a hand, a wall with paint seemingly just thrown onto it. All to me are beautiful. Paintings by Salvador Dali just make my heart melt. They are classic in their beauty because they are different. They aren't just pictures of someones face or paintings of fruit. To me, he is the genius behind surrealism.
Classical music is beautiful because it relaxes the mind and the body. The way that 300 instruments come together to create something so wonderful is purely amazing to me. I don't have any favorite composers because I can't decide who I love more.

My definition of art may have went off subject, but I hope that the idea I am reaching for is understood. I can only give my definition by explaining how it makes me feel.
