I think in recent historypeople who are not artists have moved to redefine 'art' so that they can then become 'artists,' rather than taking the effort to develop skills. I think a good rule of thumb is that however art is defined, the work must be borne out of a certain level of prowess, and be of more than ordinary significance. Without those requirements, anyone can do anything and call it art, and you might as well toss the label aside as meaningless.
