 art - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
Art is seen as a high-status activity associated with wealth and the ability to purchase both works of art and the leisure required to enjoy them.
Much of the confusion about what can be or cannot be deemed art comes from an unconsidered use of the word to describe things or people as good or bad, as in such expressions as "(that meal was) a work of art" or "the art of deception".
Given the present association of art with status, it is somewhat ironic to note that previous to the 14th century in Europe, artisans were considered as being of a lower caste, since they laboured with their hands.

 Bio at BlinkBits. art
The exclusionary view that art requires a certain skill level to produce is often described as a lay critique and derives from the fact that in Western culture at least, art has traditionally been pushed in the direction of representationalism, the literal presentation of reality through literal images.
Art explores what is commonly termed as the human condition; that is, essentially, what it is to be human, and art of a superior kind often brings about some new insight concerning humanity (not always positive) or demonstrates a level of skill so fine as to push forward the boundaries of collective human ability.
For Plato, art is a pursuit whose adherents are not to be trusted; given that their productions imitate the sensory world (itself an imitation of the divine world of forms) art necessarily is an imitation of an imitation, and thus is hopelessly far from the source of the truth.

 Art Gazebo
"Art for art's sake" was a bohemian creed in the nineteenth century, a slogan raised in defiance of those who — from John Ruskin to the much later Communist advocates of socialist realism — thought that the value of art was to serve some moral or didactic purpose.
Art for art's sake affirmed that art was valuable ''as'' art, that artistic pursuits were their own justification, and that art did not need moral justification — and indeed, was allowed to be morally subversive.
The slogan is associated in the history of English art and letters with Walter Pater, and his followers in the Aesthetic Movement, which was self-consciously in rebellion against Victorian moralism.

This may or may not be true, however we can at least say that there is often a consensus of agreement about what can be considered art.
This consensus does not appear to be static over time, and could be seen as being similar to evolution's doctrine of survival of the fittest, where even very good ideas inevitably disappear and get ploughed under by history, while other ideas survive, sometimes by luck as well as their genuine usefulness.
The term applied arts is most often used to describe the design or decoration of functional objects to make them pleasing to the eye.
