What is art and what is good art?

After examining art theory, art history, from primitive to Modern, and practicing art for 20 years. I have drawn a conclusion to rise above and find the true mastery of art! The U.S. has long awaited an answer. It might sound offensive at times but we in American culture have found garbage to be the norm. I find it to be a way of not studying correctness and then disciplining yourself to use correctness. So from a lazy man's world it will be hard to repair the damage done.

Art is any art that the artist had an intention of being art, although that does not qualify the art to be good art or a masterpiece.

Nevertheless, just because you can make words, that does not mean you can write a good sentence. So you must be taught how to write a thought clearly so it could be understood. Culture comes into play again, whereas, you must learn the language of your society so they can understand what you are saying to them. So you will learn things like nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and which order to place these words in order to make clear sentences.
I think by now you can see where I am going with this. You start with an idea or fall into another idea from an initial idea. I am saying that you might have a clear
