How do you define "art"?

Question

Many people have different ideas about what constitutes as art. When most people think of art, they tend to think of pretty paintings and cool-looking sculptures. However, there are also some people who consider blood spatters on a canvas and a picture of Jesus submersed in urine art, though most other people would probably disagree. What do you consider art? Also, if blood spatters on a canvas constitute as art, then isn't it possible that ANYTHING and EVERYTHING constitutes as art of some sort?
