Message: [QUOTE="ciro64, post: 191449, member: 61046"] I somewhat disagree. It is in fact reality, but figuring out good angles and good lightning conditions do overlap with the subject of art. The conditions which the picture were taken is a result of the decisions and feelings from the of the photographer too, and they can extract further poetic meaning from that picture or the place they took it. Same thing with Origami. It may be a crafting skill, but figuring out how to make it appealing in a way humans relate to can be quite artistic. I was going to bring up how engineering a house is purely technical, but I quickly realized even that can be artistic. Many houses designs look lifeless these days but with considerate thoughts and effort you can design a house with personality that brings good feelings to you. Hell, I'm a hobbyist game programmer and I consider programming to be art. Simply because it's fascinating and having endless possibilities gives you room to be expressive. Even on something purely technical. Maybe I'm pushing the definition too far, but I do believe the full extent of what is art goes beyond the practical definition that we usually attribute it to.
