Anything can technically be called an art these days, and some things/people abuse this term. I mean, anything can really be considered an art, like: being a chef-the art of cooking, computer science-the art of programming, engineering-the art of building, hairdressing-the art of hairstyles, prostitution-the art of... um... AIDS spreading? lol. What I want to know is: what do you consider art, and where do you draw the line? Who would you call a true artist? What genres do you consider art?
