No art on

Is it art if you create it yourself? Or does that apply only to artists? And how do you become an artist? Is it so that one day you wake up with the idea fixed in your head that whatever you are, whatever your profession is at that time, from then on you will be an artist?

My father-in-law is a retired teacher and he creates ceramic statues. When shown to random people like my colleagues, it is art. The artist however had a bit of an internal struggle when deciding that he now was to be known as An Artist.

Have fun!

By the way, the title of this post, "No art on" is a direct translation from a dutch expression meaning that things are to simple to be worthy of thought.
