Yes, that is true. Really anything can be an art, it just depends what are you looking for, and what you want to make out of that art. Beauty is really in the eye of the beholder.
As I’ve journeyed along over the past few years, learning art, blogging about my experiences, and discovering new media and techniques, I’ve often asked a familiar question. What is art? It’s a short, simple question, to be sure, but the answer is anything but short or simple, because, in truth, anything can be art.
I’m reminded of the saying that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, and if we change beauty to art, isn’t our statement equally true? Art, I’m learning, is everywhere. It can be anything.
I’m currently re-reading Denman Ross’s 1907 treatise on his Theory of Pure Design, and his ideas about art and the elements of design have definitely influenced my thinking.

Art and creativity is influenced by the right side of the brain which controls the left side of the body. I was originally right handed but started to learn to write with my left hand in my 70s. And my left handed writing is now more legible than right. It integrates both your logical thinking and creative thinking.
Many believe that there is a link between talent and left-handedness. Leonardo da Vinci was left-handed. So were Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton, Mark Twain, Mozart, Marie Curie, Nicola Tesla, Aristotle, Stephen Hawking and Rocky the Squirrel.
I identify more with Rocky, but am a lot older with approaching dementia.

About 90 percent of people are right-handed, says Corballis. The remaining 10 percent are either left-handed or some degree of ambidextrous, though people with “true” ambidexterity—i.e., no dominant hand at all—only make up about 1 percent of the population.
