Often times I get in to. . . Heavy-loud and rather obnoxious arguments with friends or teachers that tell me art is not anime, it is not cartoons, it is meant to be taken seriously and to the book.
To a point, I believe art can be a serious thing, but only when the time calls for it. Like when a person makes fun of a picture, I think thats immature and very stupid and they need to seriously shut up. But when someone is just doodling something for fun, thats not a serious moment at all!
I believe art is just another word for self-expression and passion. As if those two words could have a child, art would be it.
If you are doing something you are very passionate about and put your whole heart in to it. Why can that not be art?
my qualifications for art; a hobby that manifests its self in to a movement that someone can express inner emotions and thoughts.
It is not the medium that makes the art, it is the artist that makes the art. I think everyone is an artist, whether they are acting, dancing, writing, even speaking.
Opinions on art to you?

Oooo... Oh! *cough*
Art to me, is more than just a simple hobby, it is a passion, I cannot go one day without drawing a simple sketch, being able to draw is a gift I am not willing to ever give up. If I cannot manifest my creations as poetry, stories, drawings, or anything in general, I would rather not be alive. Each line is like a heart beat keeping me alive. It is a friend when I am alone, and a massacre when I am frustrated. I can leave reality, or create my own. Art is not a hobby, it is a part of me.

Cartoons can be art, I'd have to argue with those people. What made us laugh on the screen of our TV's as children, sometimes cartoons.
In fact, it's a different style then most use. My artist boyfriend goes crazy whenever he draws me fanart, since my main 'face' is a weasel body type from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"
He's an artist who is better with normal anatomy, the toon just took him out of his style.
Art is passion, art is a creation that you spend time on to convey a message, even if the message is as simple as making yourself happy drawing it. Art is creativity, art has many styles, some more popular or over used then others, but it's still different styles.
One would not expect a portrait painter to draw toon, one would not expect a cartoonist to draw the mona lisa.

To say that cartoons, and by extension, anime, are not art is incorrect. Someone had to learn how to draw and animate those pictures together; it takes skill, and someone had to learn by some book. Arguing that they are not art is just asinine.
Granted, a lot of younger kids have taking to drawing anime in a... less-than-professional manner, for lack of a better term, and likely driven their art teachers and professors crazy with it. Which is probably why the Fine Arts look down on the Commercial Arts. Just generally speaking, mind you, I mean no offense to either side. ^^;
I personally believe in a spectrum of "high" and "low" art. "High" art is what we would consider the fine arts: music, painting, theatre, etc. That is the serious business on the far end of the spectrum. On the other is the "low" art: the doodles, the freestyle music that you'll never record, the skits you and your friends put together for the school talent show, etc. The stuff that is just for fun. Spread throughout the middle is everything else: Commercial art and fine. How you interpret it all is up to you. But none of them are not art.
That's my two cents. :3
