Is this Art?

preliminary interview questions

With these questions, I want to bring about a discussion regarding art as whole,
whether the individuals I am interviewing have a broad or narrow view on the
subject. This will aid me in understanding others views and bring my work to a
different point of view. Exploring by surveying and asking frequent questions I
personally have. What do non-art based subject individuals think about art? Why do
they think this? How have they been influenced? Is art looked up or down on?
Overall, I am exploring this never ending subject that can take me in infinite
directions to never ending conclusions. How can I overcome this never-ending
debate?
