Art in the broadest sense is a product of human creativity. Now this means that art can be anything and everything.
One of the most unusual art forms Ive seen was a plastic bag swirling in the wind in NYC. I later learned that this art was also mentioned in the film ,American Beauty. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0169547/) At that time I only saw a dirty plastic bag flying around. But when I looked closer I felt something strange inside, in my soul. I felt like I was dancing in with the wind and the plastic bag. I was in a trance that can't be described. I realized that there was a whole life and beauty in everyday life. And that everything, even a plastic bag in th wind, can be art.
Art can not really be defined, art is something you feel inside, art is omnipotent and everywhere. Whether something is art or not is decided by the audience watching or listening. It is also decided by the artist because he/she can choose what to convey, and if they try hard enough get a specific outcome which defines how the person will feel and therefore they can control the views of the audience.
Art is letting someone inside your head, to show them instead of telling them, to make the audience feel a certain emotion. Art is the way you express your soul. Like making music, painting, or whatever that comes from your inner self, whether it be complete bliss or utter chaos.
An example of art from blissful emotions is the classical song, Nocturne by Chopin.

A differnet example of art from a chaotic point of view is the movie, Natural Born Killers.
