In order for something to be considered art for me, an artist has to put certain things into making that work of art such as creativity, emotions, and meaning. Without creativity all art would be similar, without emotions art would be uninspired, and without meaning a painting would just be paint on canvas, songs would just be empty words to music (especially ones without instruments) , and books would just be ink on paper. However sometimes the meaning might be hard to spot or is open to interpretation and somethings can be considered art that doesn't need a meaning like architecture or fashion design. As far as the medium is concerned it can be anything. As long it fits my criteria anything creative is art from designing clothes to music to painting to writing.
An good example of what i think is art is a song by Kid Cudi called The Prayer. When i first heard it a couple years ago i was just taken back by how deep the song was. In it he talks about wanting to be remembered for writing meaningful music and not just mainstream songs. You can just feel the emotion and soul that Cudi puts into the song when you listen to it. In my eyes this is definitely art because it satisfies my criteria and is a much better rap song then most of what came out this past decade.
