Something that I consider beautiful and is art:
Something that I consider beautiful that is not art:
Beauty is a very subjective matter (as the old saying goes: "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"). I personally believe that the Prague Castle contains a certain aesthetic appeal that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure. However, the Prague Castle was not originally built for aesthetics. Most castles were built as fortresses from invasions, not to be looked at as works of art. They were functional, as opposed to expressive. So although this castle is beautiful, it is mostly classified as non-art.
Something that I don't consider beautiful but is art:
To me, this painting doesn't exactly hold any sort of aesthetic appeal. The colors are a bit dark and depressing, the shapes of the peoples' faces appear odd and disjointed, and the overall picture just isn't pleasing to me. However, the painting was made intentionally by Vincent Van Gogh, and it is both expressive and creative. Therefore, it is art.
