The definition of art does not include anything having to do with video games or films.
Art - something that is created with imagination and skill, that is beautiful or expresses important ideas or feelings: works created by artists like paintings, sculptures, drawings (etc...) usually by one lone person.
After seeing both sides to whether or not video games count and discussing it amongst the group, we all agree that video games should indeed be considered art. Many players and reviewers on the video games Journey or Halo consider these pieces to be full of art. Since video games demand our full attention and effort to truly engage with them, it is easy for those who do not play to be dismissive of the medium. After viewing multiple screenshot images from these games, it does not seem like a tough choice. Art should bring out some type of emotion in the viewers and bring people together. Both images below are just a small portion of what the games consist of and just with these and from personal experiences with different video games we think it is and should be considered beautiful. Even though most video games are created by a group of people they design and build something amazing that deserves the same recognition that other pieces of art get. This is a new form of art that has grown massively through recent generations and is a dominating art form in the 21st century; that will continue to rise.
