So, a friend and I have been in a bit of an argument asto what constitutes art. I say that literature can be a form of art, and he says not. He says that it isn't, so, I wanted to see what others thought.

I couldn't decide if this belonged in the art forum or books, so I just picked one, if it belongs else where, my apologies.

Lets look at it this way. Anything can be considered art. It really comes down to the individual person and what he or she considers art. For example. I look at these two pictures.

In my personal opinion, this is not art. Just simply wasted paint.

This, in my opinion is art.

books, movies, video games, poems, plays, even structures can be viewed as an art form.

I just wanted to tell you all about a really good book, its by a first time author

Dixie Lee's
"Black Reckoning"

I suggest that anyone go buy it today here is the really cool website. I will say the first thing that attracted me to the book was the cover, the art is amazing, never judge a book by its cover is impossible here, but its a really really good book I loved it.

go check out the website

Of course it's art, not even debatable.

I voted yes I do believe that it is art.

As far as I am concerned Literature is definitely Art.
