• painting
• sculpting
• photography
• theater
• cinema

Architecture is an interesting one as it is probbaly the most durable (see pyramids,parthenon etc). Is it science, art or both?

Dictionary.com gives 16 definitions for the word 'art'.

I will stand to only two:

1. the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance
2. skill in conducting any human activity

Any skill developed in an individual more than average makes that individual an artist in that particular field.

Everyone has a field s/he excels at (even if that field is well stupidity for some) so we are all artists...

Hm perhaps it is time to change my business card from the universal in my area "Consultant" to "Artist"...

Clearly not the case with the above sites. Is it fashion ? Now that we 'all' got broadband connections zillion of pictures to share and show off our trips, concerts, conquests...

Time will tell....
