Art When asked, “What is art?” the art students gave many different responses. “Art comes in different sizes, shapes, colors, and ways. If the world didn’t have art there wouldn’t be a world. Therefore art is simply accepted by different people in different ways.” — Jay Newton. “Art can be anything you make of it, also it expresses ones feelings.” — J. Sabel. “Art is everything. Without art there wouldn’t be anything. We really can’t live without art because everything has its own type of art.” — J. Hayes. The art classes are taught by Mrs. Faye Horetzki. Above left: T.
