Kinda funny that you didn't provide a link to your definition, yet used the same internet website I did for art, for the definition of "creative"...things that make you go hrm... Nope, I'm not an artist, doesn't mean I don't know what the definition of art is. There are a lot of things I know about that I don't necessarily do.

I've been asking the question 'what is art?' since I was a kid. What do you have? a definition from dictionary.com. So when you come on here and spout BS don't be surprised when you find yourself suddenly burned. Here's a free lessen for ya.
