To me, art is a medium through which one expresses thoughts, ideas, emotions etc. One doesn't necessarily have to be good at it (I certainly am not compared to many of my classmates), but I think what's important is that one's artwork has a deeper meaning to it, and not just be drawn for the sake of drawing. (Yeah I might just be placing more importance on this to make up for my lack in artistic skill, haha).
To me, art has very subtle messages hidden in them. Each detail, be it from colour, composition, contrast or balance or anything else, is there because the artist intentionally put it there to tell viewers something. Change each detail and you could change the meaning of the work altogether.
To me, art is a gateway to my imagination. I make up my own characters, settings, costumes, stories, unique weapons from games or movies and other things and draw them out sometimes. Most of the time when that happens I only have access to pencils, which would explain why I don't do so well in other mediums.
To me, art relieves boredom. Big time. Even if it's only a minute or two of in-class doodling (haha, yes, I admit it), it takes my mind off things just enough for me to not go insane from information overload. It's a very relaxing form of recreation. The sense of achievement from completing an artwork and having it be admired by viewers is an added bonus.
To me, art is time-consuming. As much as I like it, I also find it unfortunate that I can only spare so much time from a busy schedule to hone my skills and develop my abilities. And thus I do not get very far from the limited amount of practice I get.
