There has never been any arguement presented to argue to validity of the Mona Lisa and Monet's "Lilies" as 'art'. When the majority of today's society considers the word 'art', the immediate definition would most likely be a drawing, painting, sculpture, etc. That is, something that may be on display at an art museum or placed on a wall for decorative purposes. However, art is much more than this, it is a means by which a person chooses to express their thoughts, emotions, or creativity. This expression may also be out of necessity or purely for pleasure, as many do not realize. Virtually everything in today's consumer market was designed and developed by a person's creativity. Many of these 'works of art', such as beautiful works of architecture that millions walk past daily, remain unnoticed for their beauty and artistic relevance. All in all, art is something that is entirely appealing to the artist who created it, for any various reason.
